A MAN who has lined up some bottles of spirits in his kitchen thinks he is like a famous debauched singer from the 50s.
Tom Booker has lined up half a bottle of Famous Grouse next to the Pernod he got in duty free and some Bacardi left over from Christmas, and is strutting about like Dean Martin.
Booker said: “Having the drinks out and ready to go lets everyone know I’m an entertainer. Whisky is probably the coolest drink, so when people spot it out in plain sight like that they see me as the Don Draper character I definitely am.
“They can also tell straight away that I’m well travelled because the writing on the Pernod is in Spanish, and Bacardi makes you think of beaches.”
Booker has started referring to the corner of the kitchen worktop as ‘the back bar’ and has moved the toaster and kettle to the other side of the sink. He keeps the area clean of crumbs and does not allow squash to be stored there.
Booker continued: “Sometimes I think ‘What would Frank Sinatra do?’ and that’s when I make sure all the labels are facing forward.”
