UK - London - City workers drink pints at lunchtime

Two smart, young city suited office workers stand outside in warm summer sunshine outside the Crispin pub at 3 Finsbury Avenue in London's Broadgate. Wearing hot, dark clothing that they might also wear in Winter, the men stand holding pint glasses of lager or bitter that hold equal measures of alcohol though they don't appear to be enjoying each other's company. Perhaps they are colleagues or client and customer but both seem nervous or uncomfortable in each other's company. It might also be the so-called Englishman’s stiff upper lip. St Crispin is the Christian patron saint of cobblers, tanners and leather workers.
