This year was particularly hard work, of course, but in any event we
felt no inclination to go to the bar, which was a long way away from
both the wrg compound and the workers boats, and was expensive and
noisy.
Sheila spent a bit of Monday evening in there selling flowers*, and
reports feeling physical pain from the sound level. With all the
emphasis on elf and safety, I'm surprised we get away with what must be
injurious levels of noise in the bar.
I certainly don't go to a bar to listen to any kind of music, but to
drink and talk to friends (yes I have, Moose, shut up). Since even
those who do like music with their ale have differing tastes, on any
one evening there must be more folks put off by the particular genre
then playing than attracted to it.
