In a rustic brick-and-timber pub a young man in a dark jacket stands at the bar telling an increasingly worked-up story while the bow-tied bartender polishes a glass and pulls faces at him, and a heavy man in a grey suit chain-smokes over a coffee at a side table. Twice the suited man topples flat on his back on the stone floor, first with his chair and then dragging the whole heavy wooden table down on top of himself.
