Shouldn't be a problem - looks like you all forgot to take your wallets. As you all have drinks in the pic, you must have had a tab behind the bar. So should I presume you kept the tab going until last orders, then did a runner when the landlord was busy dealing with the inevitable rush?

No no, can't be for a Gallant Ted.

Ah, simple! The landlord knew of your worldwide fame, and thought the worldwide publicity worth the substantial amount of bear, sorry beer, that the three of you consumed that evening.

Only thing is you forgot to include the pub sign in the picture as may have been intended. Ah well.
