Just One More

It’s freezing cold outside but in side the Sir Robert Peel public house on Jarrom Street in Leicester its warm and packed with mainly men taking a drink before Saturday’s football match at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium. The beer here is good, a well kept cellar as they say. Walls and ceiling covered in beer mats and other pub related items. In the corner a group of five middle aged men play cards for small amounts of money, swearing happily at the guy who takes the pot three times in a row. The game is fast approaching but no one is quick to leave, timing their departure to give them just enough time to buy a hot cup of Bovril, take their seats and prepare for the kickoff.
