Pub Food

As a rule the lunch break in London offices is only an hour. So there is not time to go home for lunch.
Many office-workers go to pubs. These pubs serve simple, traditional food. The srt of food that Mum used to make. It is not only hot and quick, but also cheap.
The trouble is that these pubs are so popular that you cannot sit down. As a result you can find yourself with a slightly difficult problem.
You have a plate of delicious, traditional food in one hand, and a glass of beer in the other.
But, with only two hands, how do you eat your lunch?

Opening Time

The is a story about a gorilla who went into a pub and ordered a beer.
Assuming that gorillas do not understand money, the barman charged the gorilla three times the normal price. The gorilla paid in silence.
'Not many gorillas come in here', the barman said after a pause.
'I'm not surprised', the gorilla replied.
'Why?'
'Because the beer is very expensive.'
The story does not say if the barman was impressed, but the gorilla was obviously no fool.
Pubs in Britain open at strictly controlled times. In most parts of the country they are open from half past eleven in the morning to half past two and then from half past five to half past ten in the evening.
A thirsty gorilla needs a watch as well as a fat wallet.
