Pub Rules At Christmas

[vwdan]

Harder in the city I would presume but I've been on various contracts where I've been in lock-ins after hours. One was a pub in Yorkshire next door to my B&B. The staff asked if we didn't mind if they had a smoke as me & my mate finished our last drinks. We said we didn't mind if they served us again. Quite often we would stagger home at 3am

This reminds me of a date I took a girl on many years ago where we went to a nice country pub - log fire etc. They came round at closing time and said "We're going to lock the door now, but you're welcome to stay for a couple more if you like." We took them up on it, and about 10 mins later the owner came over to us and asked if we minded if he smoked - as if I was in any position to say no!

In the glass with the gold rim? I do like Vier.

Although what is with all these poncy glasses now, every lager has it's own weird shaped glass.

You wouldn't want to go to a bar in Belgium then or here for that matter.

The bar staff last night apologised because they served me palm beer in a leffe glass, as they had run out of the right glasses.

In a nice bar it's fine, in fact fun and I have even chosen a beer based on the glass before!

But in a regular, busy English pub?

If you don't mind, I would like to take a few printouts and leave one each on the tables at my local. I will sign it as SimonMac at the bottom of the page

Or, you could sign it as the landlord who actually wrote this list

He said "I'm a pretentious knob end and I don't really like coffee. Could you make me something sweet please? In fact, just do me a warm milk and put a teat on it"

The beer companies actually claim that their beer tastes better in their own glasses. I wouldn't go that far, but it is important to get it in the right type of glass. Some are designed for fizzy lagers, some for ales and stouts etc, and they don't work well with the wrong drink in them.

Newcastle Brown is supposed to be served in a Wellington glass but it still takes like tulipe and makes you ill in any glass.

You're doing it wrong. Newkie Broon is designed to be drunk from the bottle

No, I'm doing it right, I won't touch the stuff.

what are you on about? beer is not meant to be tasted, its meant to be gulped.
All beer tastes pretty horrible, but the aftertaste is quite nice.

a proper beer glass would have a little device on to pinch yer nose closed while you gulp, so you definitely don't taste it.

In fact, that's such a good idea I might invent it myself, do a business plan then win the apprentice next year.
