A viral video of some of the most quintessentially British drunkeness ever caught on camera has been cracking people up across social media. The best part is, it was filmed just down the road in Stockport.
That’s right, the clip of the fellow flashing his belly and the old gal getting a boogie going has been confirmed to be none other than The Chestergate in Stockport and we are not at all surprised.
As the re-poster says, there is so much going on in this chaotic clip that it’s “bordering on art”.
There’s so much going on here. It’s bordering on art.
It truly is of the same mould as the iconic photo of that bloke strewn across the street outside the Arndale on NYE 2016, the guy slapping the chair like a drum to the tune of ‘Show Me Love’, or that clip of karaoke night at Doncaster’s Coach and Horses pub.
These are what call all-time British classics.

As one person quote tweeted, “I give you… The Chestergate in Stockport at 12:30 on a Tuesday afternoon (no lie). What a belter!”
Having been born in SK myself, it took literally seconds to recognise those surroundings and those regulars but as if you needed any more convincing, it turns out the pub posted the video themselves along with the caption: “Oooh it’s Tuesday choose your own Tuesday”.

Looks like they’re having the best Tuesday ever, to be fair. In fact, they’ve posted quite a few of these:
Beyond the clip itself, we’ve enjoyed people’s reactions more than anything. One person remarked, “I’d bet my life this is the north of England”, another said: “Say what you want but phoenix nights is still one of the best shows on British TV…”
We especially enjoyed each of these lovable characters being turned each into their very own tipsy tableau:
Aside from being undeniably funny, the clip seems to have warmed people’s hearts, with many being quick to label these kinds of pubs “genuinely the best boozers” to go in.
At the end of the day, we just love seeing people have a good time.
Yeah right. Just a bunch of folk enjoying themselves. Good luck to them all.
Those commenting on Twitter quipped that “pubs like these need National Trust status” and more sincere sentiments such as, “I’d take that boozer over ocean beach every day of the week”.
We hope to be dancing with these legends this Tuesday evening.
Long live The Chestergate, long live Stockport and, more importantly, long live the British boozer. Undefeated.
A pop-up ‘sunshine booth’ is landing in Manchester to combat winter blues
Emily Sergeant
A sunshine booth shining special SAD lighting is coming to Manchester this week to combat those winter blues.
As the rain continues to pour down outside and the colder days really begin to set in as autumn draws to a close, Holland & Barrett, the UK’s leading health and wellness retailer, says it’s on a mission to help the nation stay well this winter.
With the days getting shorter and darker, the average Brit will see around nine hours less of sunlight than in peak summer.
The drop in daylight, coupled with both the drop in temperature and the onset of the usual common cold season, can often be found to take a toll on our mental and physical wellbeing, leaving us feeling a little more dull than we’d like to be – which is why Holland & Barrett’s ‘Sunshine Booth’ will be popping up across UK high streets to brighten Brits’ winter wellness routines.
The brightly coloured Sunshine Booth has been crafted with expert lighting, using the lighting featured in SAD lamps.

It’s designed to mimic effects of natural light to help customers feel relaxed and refreshed.
Landing inside Holland & Barrett’s store over at the Trafford Centre later this week, the retailer is inviting customers to pop in and spend up to 20 minutes inside the calming booth to ‘pause and recharge’.
Those looking to brighten their day can pop into Holland & Barrett at the Trafford Centre this Friday (7 November) to visit the Sunshine Booth, with no prior appointment or ticket required.
Not only that, but the first 10 customers who visit will receive a Holland & Barrett goody bag worth £50, packed with products to support winter wellness, boost your immune system, and provide you with additional energy.
Fancy it then? The Sunshine Booth will be in the Trafford Centre’s Holland & Barrett this Friday 7 November from 10am through to 8pm.
