It seems everybody thought last night was the final episode of Skint, so I also thought this would be my final post on it, but it seems C4 have scheduled an extra episode for next week! Last nights episode involved the re-opening of the Desert Rat. This pub has always been around the corner from wherever I’ve lived on this estate, but I can honestly say I’ve never frequented it.
