It's pathetic, but reading alleged doings by the SS management on other sites I've concluded that they are tight paranoid morons. I once started a thread asking whether the regulars on here would rather have a Spoons or Sam's pub open up as their local and I chose Sam's - I've changed my mind after all I've read over the last few months.
Sam's lost their way long ago. When I was a student in the late 70s they were just arriving on the scene in London, and finding OBB in a pub was a find indeed in a city awash with keg WatBreads and if you were lucky Charrington's IPA. Then they got a couple of pubs, put only keg stuff in them and it was downhill all the way.
I see someone on the other site is systematically going through all Sam's pubs telling the sordid tale, good on them - Just don't do it on here!
I think old Humph might really have done it this time. The White Rose is such a potent symbol of the county's identity and regional pride. People are spitting feathers, as the facebook page shows: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boycot...30834506968949
Oh dear, I can hear boardroom meeting doors slamming shut in Tadcaster as I type!
They were already on my fail list for not returning Al 10000's hand written list.
;)
Agreed, its very poor form from the brewery and it will stop me drinking there (I only ever really went to the London ones - the central Leeds SS pub is rubbish)
Hello by the way to anyone who might remember me from the other site - I was recommended here by Gann.
None around here so I do not drink Sam Smith's anyway, but it really is something one would hope to see on front page of Daily Mail [sorry about using that name]
Shame on SS
