Yates's

Yates's Wine Lodge. As a wide-eyed child Itchy remembers thinking this a classy name for a joint, and picturing well-bred housewives sitting inside commenting on the bouquet and clarity of their vintage red. If only... In reality, Yates's is usually populated by the kind of people who drink fluorescent things, dance until they fall over and then empty the amazing technicoloured contents of their stomachs in the street outside. On your shoes. And then ask you what you think you're looking at. You won't tell them too plainly if you know what's good for you.
