Café Culture – UK Style

Cafe Culture – UK Style 2
Originally uploaded by gusset.

This shot typifies the UKs attempts at implementing European café culture into our drinking laws. Outside the Bay Horse, Bristol, on a Friday lunchtime, the seating is filled with builders in hi-vis jackets, hard-hats on the floor behind them, drinking Stella. How cosmopolitan. ;-]

Overheard conversation as I was taking the photo:
Two teenage girls pass pushing pushchairs. In a broad Bristolian accent one says, "...and 'e beat the shit out of 'im with a hammer..."
That's all of the conversation that was heard I'm afraid. I can't report on whether this was a reference to real life or a retelling of fiction or whether it was seen as a good thing or a bad thing. I'll let you make the rest up for yourself.
