Saturday night is what is left in our culture of the old orgy

Navvy aged about 35, says "If I get three pints down me I can ..." (What he said is the sort of thing considered "unprintable". It amounted to the fact that when he went home he was able to have sexual intercourse with his wife with the maximum of efficiency, and when he woke up in the morning he was able to repeat the process with the utmost satisfaction.) ... The girls then tell a number of dirty stories. Observer does not find them very funny or original, but they are some of the dirtiest stories that he has heard. There are no tabooed words whatever. The girls, the man, and the old ladies, all freely use the odd half dozen common words that at the moment are never printed in England ... Observer leaves in company with two youthful drunks, who have been playing darts and flirting with the barmaid from 8.30 until just before closing time. She accompanies the group to the lobby, and then on to the doorstep. One of the drunks and the observer both kiss her good night. The kisses were long and interesting.
