People enjoying themselves in an Inverness pub

I often go to this pub, sometimes with friends, but frequently alone. If I'm not in company, I read or write. Sometimes I enjoy the anonymity of a large bar. (Part of a chain, rhymes with 'moons'.) Today I saw this group of people who were obviously relaxed in each others company, exchanging tales and having a few laughs. I asked if they would mind being photographed, and they agreed, though told them I would do it when they weren't looking. They obliged.
