点评:If you had tried to pitch the idea of a large scale bar on the outskirts of town, with DJ's playing electronic music and a large selection of high strength alcohol to the Dragons Den, in 2025. I'm sure they'd have some cautionary words for the entrepreneur, and politely back out of the presentation. This is not the 90's after all. This is five years from a global net zero goal, in a town where we've switched off a clock that blows bubbles, due to health and safety reasons.
Sure, it might be a shade more expensive than a rural pub, but there is no expense spared on the environment. Log fires blaze all evening, gas heaters are on full blast and indoors you won't need a jacket either. Cliental are mostly well dressed, well spoken and with good hair, you know the drill.
There are no bus routes and definitely no cycle lanes tot he location. Although you may see the odd cyclist, don't let that put you off.
Somehow, people arrive—like moths to a flame, or Range Rovers to a poorly lit gravel car park. No one asks questions. Until the day I can afford a self-driving Tesla, and roll silently out of the car park, slumped in the passenger seat like a tech-savvy Victorian ghost. We travel home the old-fashioned way: full of mystery, mild regret, and kebab shop receipts.
翻译:如果您在 2025 年尝试向 Dragons Den 推销在城郊开设大型酒吧的想法,让 DJ 播放电子音乐并提供大量烈性酒。我相信他们会对企业家提出一些警告,并礼貌地退出演讲。毕竟这不是 90 年代。距离全球净零排放目标还有五年时间,在这个城镇,出于健康和安全原因,我们已经关闭了吹泡泡的时钟。
当然,它可能比乡村酒吧贵一点,但在环境方面没有吝惜任何代价。整个晚上都有壁炉燃烧,燃气加热器全开,在室内你也不需要夹克。顾客大多衣着得体,谈吐得体,头发也很好,你知道该怎么做。
没有公交线路,当然也没有通往该地点的自行车道。虽然您可能会看到奇怪的骑自行车的人,但不要因此而气馁。
不知怎么的,人们来了——就像飞蛾扑火,或者路虎揽胜来到光线昏暗的碎石停车场。没有人问问题。直到有一天我买得起一辆自动驾驶的特斯拉,然后静静地驶出停车场,像一个精通技术的维多利亚幽灵一样瘫坐在副驾驶座上。我们以老式的方式回家:充满神秘、轻微的遗憾和烤肉店的收据。
