Going to the pub (London)

A student from 25 or 30 years ago has moved back to London and re-established contact.  She was telling people that they used to call me The Dragon Lady.

    This reminds me of something the students said.

    I used to go to the pub with the students after the lesson ended at 9pm.  (My classes were evening classes, attended by mature students, some even in their 70s, if not 80s.)  The students found that over a drink or two, I’d become quite a different person: I actually laugh.  They then said to me, “Why don’t you go to the pub BEFORE the lessons?”
