Fabulous PU

In London before turning thirty we used to call it a PU, short for Piss Up. It was expected that you organised a PU when you were promoted, passed an exam, left the firm or sometimes you just did it anyway.

It was a very easy concept whereby you booked a restricted area in a bar, put some money behind the counter and let friends and colleagues drink at your expense. To keep the tab running for longer we normally only allowed wine and beer and when the tab limit was reached, people were usually not pissed enough to stop drinking but continued at their own expense. A proper PU was usually finished off at the local Indian restaurant.

Yesterday Little B organised an updated and more sophisticated version of a PU. A lovely set up at the relaxed but still trendy local bar slash restaurant. A mix of people from all over, friends and colleagues, who have one thing in common - Little B.

If it's true, and I believe it is, that you are a reflection of your friends and equally your friends are reflections of you, then of course this evening could be nothing but sparkling, spontaneous and lighthearted. A flow of rosé and engaging conversations. Friends meeting new friends, knowing that soon we will meet again as this is not the first (or the last) time Little B has one of her much appreciated get togethers.

Little B - what would we do without you?
