Right, it’s Friday Night and the CasualUK Club is in full swing. John Smiths and Fosters are on tap, the pool table has just been resurfaced and the fruit machine is paying out. What characters are you seeing in here?

  1. Fat bastard Keith who still thinks it’s the 80’s and he’s Simon Le Bon when in fact he’s more of a Limahl.

  2. That kid you went to school with and your parents always ask how they are even though you haven’t spoken in a decade.

    He studied geography at uni and is now an estate agent. Drives a 1 series.

  3. You and your pal sidle up to the table, put 50p in the slot, the balls all clunk down and you reach for the triangle. Just then a geezer comes out of the shadows, holding his own queue.

    It’s winner stays on mate

  4. Keith, who brings his own set of darts, even though there’s no dart board. Best to be prepared though, it’s the pub darts fault he’s got a 45 average.

  5. The deeply tanned tired-leather skinned bald old geezer proprietor, adorned in gold chains and sovereigns,with his shirt half open. Like an aged skinhead Mike Reed just back from Benidorm.

  6. This sounds like every local I knew from when I was growing up. 17-year-old me would fit right in. 40-year-old me is not so sure.

  7. The man at the bar making ‘pint of bitter’ references convinced he’s Alan Partridge

  8. Fanny Rat, Nibby, Rambo, Wisey are all round the back bar guzzling Fosters whilst their wives are in the front bar …their kids are bulling one another in an alcove, downing J20’s and vaping their tits off.

    Wisey just spunked his wages in the fruitie and he’s definitely gonna wallop someone.

    Kieth walks in and immediately chucks £2 in the juke box. He’s just put a load Kenny Rogers tracks on which, depending on how merry everyone is, could go either way.

  9. Both Johnny the Horse *and* Johnny the Blade.

    Cossey, for sure, and later on I reckon that ‘Flakey J’ will appear. Assuming he isn’t too much of a cunt, of course.

  10. A group of 16 year olds ina corner trying to work up the courage to order a round of drinks… eventually.

  11. The lady with bright pink hair who identifies as a witch and is psychic, and has many cats.

  12. A couple of guys with 12 quid in 50ps stacked up on the pool table, one of whom bangs his cue loudly on the table to point out the pocket he’s going for before whacking it off of 7 cushions and yelling “hit and hope!!”

  13. The local wheel dealer just set up a 12 foot inflatable in the beer garden. Looks suspiciously like a love length, but he’s adamant it’s “sammy snake”

  14. That one person who tries to ruin everyone’s night by talking about politics.

  15. Old guy in double demin who looks like a washed up Les Battersby. He’s in the corner shuffling around to music that nobody else can hear.

  16. The fish man coming round between “turns”. He used to drive from Grimsby every Saturday night and do the rounds at the social clubs with his seafood tray. Good times

  17. Having worked in a pub, you might see Fosters Pete, Fosters Tony, Guinness Pete, and possibly Fosters Dave. Maybe even snakebite Dave if he forgets he’s barred.

  18. Billy Bleach from the Fast Show. Fucking up everyone’s change and giving bad advice about the slots.

    Bloke who’s got his own pint glass behind the bar and addresses the landlord as mine host.

  19. Man sat in the corner drinking carling. They call him ‘glass back’ because his back is fucked. Hasn’t worked in two decades

  20. Either the fishmonger or the butcher. After 11pm, flogging their respective meats for a bargain.

    The cards players in the lounge, darts players in the bar.

    Me, aged ten, asleep on a bench seat with my dad’s coat over me cuz it’s near midnight but I’m only pretending so I can hear all the gossip from the adults.

  21. Jason, coked up to his eyeballs and ten pints in. Still got his hi-viz vest on, talking a hundred miles an hour about how many thousands of bricks he’s laid this week… “IVE CLEARED TWO FUCKIN GRAND THIS WEEK MAN”
