‘Come in’ he said. ‘Great to see you; give me your coat. Go through to the lounge and sit yourself down. Right now, what would you like to drink?’

‘Got a beer?’

‘Sorry. I may have some red’

‘Excellent!’

‘Ah, it’s all gone’

‘Whisky?’

‘Water will be fine then. Have you got sparkling? No? Still is fine then’

‘Is tap water all right for you?’

‘Delightful thankyou’

Do you want any nibbles?’

‘ I’d love some chips’

‘Afraid the dog ate them’

Cheese straws? Or did the budgie nibble them? Only kiddin'!'

‘Sorry’

‘Biscuits? Bombay mix? Tacos? An apple? Banana?’

‘I’m really sorry, but no’

‘Tell you what, The Red Lion is just around the corner. Why don’t we go there?’

‘Good idea'!



‘Welcome gentleman. What is your pleasure this fine evening?’

Two pints of Doombar, a bag of cheese and onion crisps and a packet of pork scratchings landlord please’

'Ah, really sorry sir, but.............'

  6. This was a fun read, it could often happen at my house because we live in the country and rarely have visitors, or refreshments to serve them. But I usually have iced tea at least. It's a sad day when then local pub runs dry, or maybe they were just out of snacks, I hope! :-)
