    Greene King toasts 'Brexit boredom'

    Many of the British public are getting “bored and annoyed” with Brexit and choosing to drown their sorrows down the pub, the boss of Greene King has said.

    Speaking as the Bury St Edmunds brewer outperformed market expectations with half-year like-for-like sales growth of 2.7pc, chief executive Rooney Anand said: “I do think it is an enduring quality of the great British public that after a while we do get a bit hacked off with things and say: ‘Sod it, let’s go to the pub’. And if that is what is going on, bring it on.”

    Boosted by a summer of record temperatures and England’s unexpected success at football’s World Cup, Greene King posted a 3.2pc rise in pre-tax profits to £127.7m.

    I love the way the media is obsessed with Brexit. Pub sales are up, profits, are up, must be people drinking heavily due to Brexit.

    FFS, get a ******* life, no one apart from you sad losers gives a tulip, Brexit is irrelevant to most normal people.

          Do Wetherspoons sell Greene King?
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
            This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
            This other Eden, demi-paradise,
            This fortress built by Nature for herself
            Against infection and the hand of war,
            This happy breed of men, this little world,
            This precious stone set in the silver sea,
            Which serves it in the office of a wall
            Or as a moat defensive to a house,
            Against the envy of less happier lands,
            This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England
            This Abbot drinking paradise
            "Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark Twain

                That'll be all the celebration over new found freedoms.
