The solution is obvious. Persuade criminal gangs to take over at risk pubs as money laundering operations. Then you'll have a nice quiet pub to drink in, as long as you pay for your pint with cash. There was the other half of the Andy Capp lifestyle, which was the missus having to get the rent money and housekeeping off him on payday before he drank it. Plus the risk of a black eye there and then, or when he got back from the pub bladdered.

It was a bit of a pain in the arse to get it to sync - how does one get a load/bulb in-line in parallel in the circuit? Old work-lamp and a multi-plug adapter?
