Last weekend a few of my friends and I went out to a bar in Shoreditch. We hadn’t seen each other in a while and we decided to get straight on the cocktails.
We had arrived about eight o’clock and after about two hours all of a sudden the lights went off and the DJ stopped. Everyone looked around thinking it must be a power cut and carried on drinking and waiting for the power to go back on.
About twenty minutes later we were still sitting in darkness (well semi-darkness as the street lights were helping luminiate the room!). We were just about to get up and leave and move on when the manager came over to apologise and offer us free drinks! Result!
We stayed for that one and then moved on, as did most people. How gutting though for the bar on a Saturday night to have to close. Later we found out it was because they hadn’t paid their bill and are in a dispute. Maybe they need to compare gas and electricity prices for them to get a better offer!!!!
