[Panel 1]
[Nils]
The pub seemed emptier than
it's been the last couple
of weeks. Anything up?
[Elizabeth]
Well, the first
round of the World
Cup is over.
[Nils]
The what?
[Elizabeth]
A televised sporting
contest, m'lud.
[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Oh, do they still have them?
[Elizabeth]
Bread and circuses,
dear boy, and bread's
too expensive.
[Nils]
But anyway Bell doesn't
have a telly there.
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]

the games, so WE got…
[Nils]
Oh. Right. Refugees.
[Elizabeth]
That's why Bell had the folk
club in upstairs, to drown out
any shouts from outside.
[Panel 4]
[Nils]
I assumed it was… um…
actually I don't think I could
come up with a reason.
[Elizabeth]
Well, there is a

accordion-playing.
[Nils]
Sure, but does it make
people buy more beer?
