Translates approximately to "My old friend phoned me to see if I wanted to
join him down at the pub. I went in the car down the road to the pub and had
a few glasses of beer (pig is a measurement of beer or ale). I got somewhat
inebriated so had to take a cab home."
Is that close?
Classic Cockney slang, and a bit tricky if you're not used to it.
