One person gets on a train, the only passenger in the carriage, thinks what's the point in wearing a mask and takes it off

Second passenger gets on, observes sole maskless occupant, can't see the...

I've been on trains where, until recently, I was one of very few wearing a mask, and once the only mask wearer on my carriage. I didn't feel I was on the receiving end of any mockery, but I did think...

I agree with what you are saying about vaccines. I'm not saying that your frustration with the selfish or misguided people who refuse, for no good reason, to get vaccinated is mis-directed; merely...

*SIGH!* Vaccines are never 100% protective. These Covid vaccines have varying degrees of protection, including making potentially severe infection (resulting in hospitalisation, intensive care, and...

I was very surprised to be asked to stop, ring the bell and wait for someone to let us in, at a pub just "norf" of Barnsley a couple of weeks ago. That's the only instance I've come across since...

I noticed on a recent trip to London that masks are more in use on transport there than on trains up north. Use of masks on buses and trams in Sheffield is still pretty well observed. I would...

Well, in my nearest 'Spoons, one of the guest ales has been on since a week last Saturday - Tring Nosebag (on since 05/06 at 14:46). Looks like one more reason for not going in one of Tim Martin's...

Oh good grief!

You should try following Pubsignman's advice:

Of the 20 different pubs I've been to since 12 April (45 pub visits in total), only one has even tried to suggest that I might like to use their app, and in that one I had to use cash because their...

I reckon you could fit that one in a schooner!

76 pints so far, on 22 pub-going days.

Thanks John.

I'm already planning on doing the Sheffield Tap, Fat Cat and Wellington on Monday, so maybe I'll leave those for a bit later in the week. Tuesday, perhaps. :)

I see him most mornings, when he stares back at me from the bathroom mirror with a puzzled look on his face.

Most of my pub visits so far have been to pubs where I am familiar with the beers that are likely to be available. Partly this is because the pubs have anticipated low demand and stuck to a core...

Just one of many, many things that used to annoy me about Wetherspoons. Since I stopped using them, not so much.

I did ask for a top up - I'm not saying which pub - it was our fifth round of drinks, and maybe the lass thought we were past caring, but it was seriously short. Actually, it wasn't even my drink,...

Thanks for the link. It seemed to be for the most part a well-constructed survey, with plenty of open-ended questions and the chance to express opinions, not just loads of meaningless multiple choice...

Yeah, I think we got it first time. John was just having a bit of fun!

If you're not prepared to stand on a table, we can only assume that you're not desperate for a beer.

Me too! Several layers of clothes, plus gloves. Can't decide between my Leeds Rhinos scarf (which I bought at Headingley on 5 March last year, the last game of rugby I've seen live) or my Luton Town...

Yes, as I thought: enough to drive the rest of us to drink.

What's it like working close to the UK government?

Oh, good grief!




I could believe either of those. They've done this sort of thing many times before. It's like the whole country is being made to take part in a Tory party focus group.

Grim indeed.
