Seven People Trapped Inside a British Pub for Nine Days!
It sounds like a dream sequence in an episode of Cheers.
“Sam, we’re down to our last case of Henry Weinhards Private Reserve. We’re doomed”
“Don’t worry Woody. I think there’s a bottle of Crown over here by the register.”
“I love you Sam.”
“I love you too Woodman.”
Crazy.
Trapped inside a bar with nothing but time and libations to sample?
Some people go to church for a lifetime and put money in the collection plate and that is what they pray for when the white light appears.
DATELINE: North Yorkshire, England
It’s an alcoholic’s wet dream. 7 people trapped inside a British Pub for 9 days.
This sounds like a time share from the 12 step program.
How’d this happen?
Was it some kind of super happy hour?
No it was part of God’s plan. That’s right, Mother Nature let it rip with a ferocious snow storm that pushed 16 foot high snow drifts against the side of the tavern.
It was a Jack Nicholson moment. “Honey I’m home!”
While nobody presumably had a fire ax, it is important to remember that ALL WORK AND NO PLAY DOES MAKE JACK A DULL BOY.
According to the Daily Mail; Five staff members of the Lion Inn were stranded. Two local residents were stranded with them.
I’m not sure stranded is the optimum word here? Perhaps a better way to describe it is, life afforded these lucky people a luscious lottery ticket of liquor.
Was there panic? Were they afraid they would starve to death and perish from lack of sustenance? Were people writing their last will and testament on gum wrappers by candlelight?
Hardly.
According to published reports, you couldn’t be snow bound in a more wonderful place. You see the Lion Inn is a bed and breakfast. That means there is food and drinks and turn down linen service.
Where’s Jimmy Stewart in It’s a Wonderful Life?
This sounds like a Carnival Cruise trip to the end of the rainbow.
“It was really novel at first and quite exciting,” the Mail quoted waitress Katie Underwood, 18, as saying before they finally made it out.
‘We’ve got plenty of coal for our fire, which has been great, and there are rooms upstairs so we have somewhere to sleep, and plenty of food.”
It all raises the question, how many babies will be born from this snow storm?
Think about it. Men and women trapped together with nothing but time to talk, booze to loosen things up, and a need for heat created through epidermal stimulation.
Hello DOLLY!
Everyone got out alive and well and no worse for ware.
Of course they did.
And that is crazy.
