Christmas is almost upon us, and it’s a big deal for local businesses trying to make a few extra shillings before the January slump. As regular readers know, Liam and I like a drink or three, so we do our bit to keep the hospitality sector afloat – it’s our patriotic duty. One of our favourite city watering holes is the Gardener’s Arms (known by most punters as the Murderers), a traditional ale house stuffed with old-world charm, oak beams and exposed brickwork. The pub has a deliciously dark past – hence the nickname – and it’s usually our last port of call before we stumble onto our bus back to the village.
To drum up a bit of business, last year the jovial pub landlord posted a video on Faceache – a fantastic spoof of a scene from Love Actually, one of the nation’s favourite festive films. And it’s been posted again this year. Click on the image below. The video is a bit rude, so best move on if you’re easily offended…
Alternatively, watch it on YouTube…
If you happen to be passing the pub, be sure to pop in for a few sherries and admire the murder theme posted on the walls (Dr Crippin, Lizzie Borden, Bonnie and Clyde, Ruth Ellis, to name but a few). And the yuletide windows are pretty good too.
Perking the Pansies 
I remember you wrote once about Murderers.
I couldn’t watch the video because it asked me to sign into FB and I don’t recall my password. Oops!
Glad you’re doing your part for the economy.

Something’s wrong with my account. I can’t see any comments from anybody. I finally saw that you commented, but I can’t read the whole thing that I can’t respond. This is crazy. I don’t want to have to leave WordPress but I’m sure not going to pay for this if it’s unusable.

What a pain. Have you contacted WordPress? I’ve found them really responsive in the past.
