Sergeant Wilson Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 9 hours ago, Loonytoons said: Way way back in my underage drinking years, one of my mates went up to the bar and nervously asked: "a pint please" "a pint of what?" queried the barman "whatever you've got" he responded nonchalantly. He got his pint surprisingly. 70/ I think it was. I've witnessed that happening too. My mate brought his son to the pub a few weeks ago and he asked "what do you sell". Probably quite logical, but sounded daft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Just bought a new shaver head for my electric shaver (Braun Series 5). The price must be at least 20 times the manufacturing cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first-ever pub visit was in Ruislip - I was on a course and we went to the pub after the first day. I ordered a Guinness because it was the only name I recognised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I'm experiencing more and more is asking for something and being given the reply "that's off at the moment". There have been times when it would have been easier for them to tell me what's actually available. The one that really gets on my nerves though is when you go through the process of choosing from the menu, only to be told "we're out of that just now". Could you not have told me at the start ffs?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that behaviour is just lazy, sloppy management. It only takes seconds to reverse font badges or stick a glass over a handle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad news : it wasn't scraped and resurfaced - just topped off so, instead of potholes there are sunken drain covers now inches below the level of the road which replace the impact of driving over the potholes. Like potholes they can be avoided but only by driving on the wrong side of the road, which is not always a good option. No surprise that this thread is on page 6869 Those are terrible. As you say, driving on the wrong side of the road isn't always a safe option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I work in a bar and tonight I've already been asked for a Smice and VBL. Why the f**k can today's youth not call drinks by what they actually are. Morons. I worked in a local pub in 1999 at the age of 24 and I had no idea what a guy was talking about when he asked for a red square. It made me feel fucking ancient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blast from the past there, to the point my brain tricked me into tasting it for the first time in 20 odd years. Used to be my nightclub drink of choice (after pints of Caffreys in the pub beforehand). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The latest Tesco advert that says "we want you to spend less". No you don't and even if you did you wouldn't have a Clubcard price and another more expensive one for people without Clubcard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
