The Barrel Vault (JD Wetherspoon) likewise last night; I had to move twice.
Of course. I just sit there and if they turn up, they turn up and pubs don't seem to mind. Or move the Reserved sign to another table to double-book.
Norman Ballon would not be amused.
There's a risk, but human bums aren't naked.
I know. I like dogs, but its their behaviour and so many pubs boast 'We're dog friendly!' as if everyone loves dogs. I've seen people have accidents tripping on water bowls and slipping on soggy...
...and then once you've correctly typed in the code ten times but are still denied access. :rolleyes:
Almost as bad are the couples who sit side-by-side on a banquette so that they can sit next to one another, yet at the same time hogging two tables.
I think some staff just shut early due to...
This usually works, after a long pause when the staff finally click that if I have a pint two hours before Dan and Olivia arrive, I won't acquire squatters' rights.
Pre plague, a squirt of...
Yes. I too have seen this and I don't condone it but it's certainly better than the places I've visited which have no time slot written (I think this may be quite new) and staff won't let you sit,...
Yup. This is quite so: the RESERVED card which won't allow you to occupy the seat, even when they won't arrive for hours, if indeed they do turn up at all; this is all the more insulting when those...
My one visit and it appeared to be going downhill and PSM seems to have had the same opinion. It was renamed The Poet now back to the Baring. I walked past it a couple of weeks ago and it has...
My second AZ last Sunday and nothing for either. But a friend (52) felt nothing after her first Pfizer, but after her second a few days ago, was taken to St. Mary's Hospital to have fluid drained...
No effects for me after both jabs. I gather it seems that - ahem - younger people get worse side effects as they have better immune systems, hence a stronger reaction. Did you have the Pfffizzer shot...
Had a very hearty 22.3-mile walk last night and the slight soreness in my right arm didn't stop me raising a few bottles of ELB's Pale which I'd bought purely for medicinal purposes. The only real...
Yes. This second one hurt a bit. I suppose the needle must be getting a bit blunt by now.
Just had my second!:cheers:
Speaking of which, I assume most regulars here have had their second jab?
You can add to that 10.00pm closing time on 'slow Mondays' in increasing numbers of pubs and at The Bridge House, you can look forward to 10.00pm 'slow Mondays', 'slow Tuesdays' and 'slow Wednesdays'...
I've only experienced this a few times and definitely not in your typical backstreet pub, rather in places that think they're a cut above the rest. One time if happened, it was a first for my mate...
Another pub con:
You are sitting at the table enjoying your drink with friends and are nearly at the end of your pint. The barman comes over and asks "Can I get you the same again?" - what service...
...not to mention the squandering of helium which is a valuable but diminishing resource.
Major gripe.
You're in the pub and need the facilities which are situated in the basement. Also, you require a brief sit-down in the cubicle. But all of a sudden the over zealous energy-saving...
Doom Bar £4.80p - there you go, but it's still tosh.
