Old John favours the cosy corner at the end of the bar, where he perches (he is quite a compact man) on one of the tall bar stools. He calls in most days, and being a naturally friendly and talkative kind of man, he enjoys the company as much as the beer.
On this particular occasion the conversation turned to life and the best way to achieve a long and happy life ..... Old John leaned forward and confided that the recipe for a long life is the Three B's.
- Beer
- Baccy (Tobacco)
- Bonking
Good on you, John! Get that man a beer!
I wonder how many times he has caught people with that one.

Hmmmmm......you did say he was in his mid 90's. I guess that is a testament to how well it has worked for John.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Hi Meggie, Yes, until his little clash with the sheep yesterday he was amazingly well for his age. He is determined to carry on doing everything for himself, even now. Maybe that strong will is half the battle.
DeleteJohn's the man.

Jane, It had me in stitches. He is a great character.
DeleteI love it! You go, John! (I no longer partake of any of the 3 B's but I'd love to sit with John in the pub and have a nice chat.)
ReplyDeleteMs Sparrow, I think John would enjoy that too. He thrives on good company.
