'ACTUALLY, IT WAS YESTERDAY'

I went to the pub to watch football on the telly. There was two of us watching.
A group of men who were there last Tuesday and buying jugs of beer as they did then seemed, as they did then also, interested in being an exclusive group of men in the pub more than anything else. At one point they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to one of themselves who I heard a short while later say, ‘actually, it was yesterday.’
