In the 1920's in America during prohibition an illegal bar was called a speakeasy. My pub could become one of those as there was only ever four of us in there at any one time? Seriously though where would we be without the off license? and sales of alcohol are up 20%+.
So after we've toasted to our front line workers should we toast the 100th anniversary of the speakeasy? after all we've got nothing better to do. You know it's bad when you start reading your spam emails!  |

"Why called a speakeasy though, could we all tell our gossip without being overheard. "
Oh, I know this one.
Its because you had to speak quietly about them in public and quietly inside so the police outside couldn't hear
Speakeasies was just a different way of saying speak quietly |
