Pub: The Tottenham
Address: 6 Oxford Street
Gareth "Bootilicious" Rees and Greg "Tug" Withnail strike out across Regent Street ahead of the rest of the group, who are having an impromptu dinner in the pub doorway. However, they are last to reach The Tottenham because the others quickly finish their meal and get moving in a taxi at 21:22.
The final pub seems to have come around so fast it can't possibly be real. But here we are... we've done it! Twenty-four pubs in under eleven hours, with no fatalities or arrests!
Greg again asks the other tokens to rate their levels of intoxication from 1 (able to competently and legally land a 747) to 10 (in need of a hospital or morgue.)
The results are as follows (figures in brackets are the estimates given earlier at Northumblerland Avenue):
Kate "Mad Hatter" Llewellyn: 2.5 (3.5)
Sarah "Jalopy" McDonald: 4 (7)
Tom "Badger Badger Badger Badger" Aston: 5 (11)
Gareth "Bootilicious" Rees: 7.5 (5.5)
Kenny "Dirty Dawg" Cramer: 403 (8)
Greg "Tug" Withnail: 3 (2)
Tom "Badger Badger Badger Badger" Aston tops up the kitty for the celebratory champagne...
...then succumbs once more:
A lady at the next table asks how we all know each other. Sarah explains that Tom, Gareth and Greg were at school together. Greg adds that Tom was their geography teacher.
James is telephoned. He agrees to rejoin the group for a meal at a curry house Gareth recommends.
Gareth vanishes and is discovered outside, incoherent. He departs and arrives home at 23:20 to discover that he has lost all his carefully taken notes.
Back inside, what is left of Tom's consciousness is consulted about its wishes. It wishes to be left here to sleep it off.
Kate crosses Oxford Street to buy cigarettes.
Greg sees James, who has arrived feeling slightly worse for wear again.
22:04 and Kenny and Sarah have vanished. A telephone call establishes that they are in Burger King on Tottenham Court Road.
Greg crosses Oxford Street to find Kate and brings her back to where James is waiting. On the way, they see Tom falling into a taxi.
Greg runs ahead to Burger King and phones Sarah because she and Kenny aren't there. It seems they have moved north.
Kate and James, walking towards Burger King, bump into Greg, who explains, bids them goodnight, and runs back to catch Sarah and Kenny.
THE END
