Surely you refused them, you have every right to.

Another new one yesterday, bloke on the next table finishes his lunch and then puts his dirty used plate on my table!

Possibly a 635a, staff answering the phone midway through serving you, leaving you in limbo, as happened to me recently.

I didn't click on reply with quote.......

#900, I still insist there is no such thing as "excess gravy", only if at expense of the meat or sausages as a cover up, go to a gastro pub where they...

Bar staff commence serving you then another member of staff comes over and asks the server a question. The server then stops serving half way through while he resolves his colleague's query.

On a technically similar theme, although not wishing to cause any division, myself and my football mates pitched up in a definitely Irish nationalist pub near Paddington late one Saturday night. My...

I haven't played pool in years but used to in my younger days. One bugbear of mine was having to wait ages to get a game due to two totally inept players who can't pot for toffee. It was usually some...

Gravy first, then salt and vinegar...........simple!

There is no such thing as "excess gravy", most meals should be so soaked in gravy so as to require a spoon. The only exception is a curry which naturally will be drenched in sauce. Salad is also...

Besides, if you are away somewhere for the weekend in self-contained accommodation the sachets are much easier to nick.:whistle:

Hmm, bit off topic but similar concerns with the pickles in the Indian when you have a few poppadoms.

Agree fully, I do worry sometimes when presented with a little ramekin of tartare sauce or mustard as to what happens with the leftover portion, does it get binned or simply topped up and pushed out...

My scampi in a Portsmouth pub some months back arrived in a dimpled pint jug.

Apart from the concept being frankly ridiculous it concerns me that the things are not easy to clean and remnants from previous uses can seep into the wood.

Reserved tables are a particular bugbear of mine, unless they are in a dedicated food area. Kingston Arms in Cambridge (which is actually a fine pub in all other respects) has a policy of reserving...

Yes, mildly amusing although the one about the head being too big.......er, I reckon the customer os perfectly right there, we only want what we are paying for!

Not that I would generally be a volunteer driver (some woman's job usually) ahem.. but I'd generally feel ok with one pint perhaps with a lunch if driving, and 4.5% would not phase me, whereas say...

Its the maiden name thing that gives it away, we have different surnames so straightaway I know when someone calls me Mr M.

I once corrected a caller, telling him my surname was Wichalbion. He...

I listened patiently one time as a double glazing firm tried to sell me a conservatory. Feigning interest I let him spout on for quite a while before I asked whether living on the 22nd floor might be...

I use the telephone preference service for my landline, gets rid of most cold calls, I used to get loads, but tended to wind the callers up as much as possible. As for my mobile its from work so all...

Three of us "mobbed" The Swan in Crawley yesterday!

The smoking ban has thankfully eradicated this one, but it concerned those drinkers who once seated, decided that they didn't want ice/lemon etc in their drinks so they'd fish them out and dump the...

Rex, you are vying for my place as the most miserable man alive. At my recent office Christmas party I walked the award for biggest moaner/most miserable ar$e of the year and quite right too. There...

Bar Blockers are definitely the thing, Especially when there are several handpumps with clips to check. I find that ignorant beyond comprehension. Personally I rarely sit at the bar, usually only if...
