The most middle class thing I heard this week was on the radio, someone was grateful to the European Championship on Tuesday evening because Waitrose was empty.
That could have been me if only they’d asked. I time my visits to the swimming pool to coincide with major sporting fixtures. An empty pool is a wonderful thing.
Back in the early ’80s, when I lived around that way, I used to enjoy going to Aberystwyth Liberal Club* on Saturday afternoons for a quiet game of snooker on the good table** while the soccer and rugby fans were all watching games in the pubs.
*No bar, but there again no TV either.
** They had 4 full-size tables IIRC. If members (I was not one) were present and wanted a game, they had preference to play on the best one.

“It’s My Round” would be hilarious. Imagine the scenes.
Tiggerlion says
I’ll suggest that for one of the other teams.
Leedsboy says
Beera Lynn? None too Chablis? Negroni Gonna Win? Bellini End? IPA Lot? Arrack and Ruin? Absinthe Dads? Grant Schnapps? Amarula. Yes I Am? Pastis Best?
Tiggerlion says
I like None too Chablis best in that little lot.
Leedsboy says
I think the gem was IPA Lot. I suspect its an age thing….
H.P. Saucecraft says
Winnah. Could only be improved by adding the def. art. “The IPA Lot”
Leedsboy says
You’re a wise man.

I reckon your blog title wins it but of we’re to be inspired by classic American literature:
Huckleberry Gin (probably exists)
Moby DYC (dreadful Spanish whisky)
The Red Stripe of Courage
The Grapes of Wrath…
Tiggerlion says
Huckleberry Gin is excellent.
The Grapes Of Wrath are piles, aren’t they?
