In the End, We All Just Want a Pint
It’s hard not to sympathize with Lord Tebbit, even if he does go around introducing himself as “Lord Tebbit.” Apparently, he woke up to a collection of empty beer bottles outside of his home. I’ve got a neighbor who likes to flick his cigarette butts into my yard so I can understand his lordship’s frustration.
Tebbit understandably concluded that the bottles came from the Queen’s Head pub, 30 feet from his front door. So, the lordly one confronted Joel Shepherd, manager, of Queen’s Head. It was quickly established that the bottles couldn’t have come from the pub, rather they were likely sold at a nearby grocery store.
Joel gave the lord a pint and all was well. The lord graciously apologized to Joel and the staff. No word on whether the bottles are still sitting on the lord’s front stoop or not.
