Strangest Thing You've Seen in a Pub.

[Oggwyn Trench]

I think that this probably counts as a pretty strange thing to see in a pub:

I know this pub though its really more a resturant , its on a really nasty bend and theres a quarry entrance at the side of the beer garden , this has been waiting to happen for years

I went into a local Pub recently and they Had Piddle Ale on Tap. Walks up to the Bar & a young Girl comes over and I ask ( I have a Pint of the Piddle Ale Please) Back comes the reply No need too be insulting about our beer if you don't like it drink elsewhere. Other guy comes over and turns clip around so the first girl can read it one bright red barmaid. And I got a free Pint it was not her fault she had just come on duty so did not know it was on Tap.

Strangest thing seen was yesterday, my MP in my local, and he was drinking a full on pint of real ale

Our local MP is a regular at The Baum. He's in a couple of times a week.

Two blokes sharing a bottle of champagne. Nothing wrong with that, a pleasant and civilised way of spending a couple of hours given the right company, time and place. I'm not entirely certain that 11:30 on a Saturday night and the Victoria Wetherspooon's are the right time and place.

Perhaps they'll try the Boadicea next time.

I've always spelt the word as "Gipsy". I suppose because I used to live very near to a place called Gipsy Hill (and my sister lived in Romany Road), and there was a local pub called the Gipsy Queen (now gone), and there is still one called the Gipsy Tavern. But Gypsy does seem to be right somehow - I think the origin of the word comes from the word "Egypt".

Technically, it is Gypsy. This is because when they first arrived in Britain, they were believed to have originated in Egypt. Gypsy is a corruption of Egyptian. This is an historical fact and Soup Dragon will back me up on this.

I have a Sam Smith's as a local. I popped in there many years back when it wasn't my local, and they had a raffle on. Seemed a little quirky, but it got even stranger when many of the prizes were just things the locals had brought in that they wanted to get rid of, and if they'd gone on EBay probably wouldn't have got up to the price of the raffle ticket. I've still not worked out what it was all about.

Swap your junk night. Will it catch on I wonder.

A place for that 1963 Daily Mirror A-Z party book!

I used to watch Swap Shop when I was nipper, worked then. Although they may need Cheggers to have a real chance.

My son tried to get something on SwapShop. Line was always engaged.
