"The grim find was made by a pub manager"

I know the toilet checking is bad as they fail to notice that a door or loo seat is missing, no locks or loo rolls, but to lock up without checking whether one of the regulars had bedded down for the night in a cubicle takes the biscuit.

[Farway]

I always thought [wrongly it seems] that pubs / clubs always checked loo cubicles in case someone hides away in order to steal all the booze /fags etc overnight

Someone will get a warning for that or he will be reduced. May even get sacked its gross misconduct failure to Check and secure the premises before leaving. One of our station managers was sacked for gross misconduct a few years ago after a similar incident. He locked the station gents up on Christmas eve in a rush did not check the cubicles just called out and locked up. He was in a rush to get a few pints in before closing time not realizing there was a stiff in one of the cubicles the guy was found two days later after boxing day as the station was closed Christmas day and Boxing day.

I'm not a 'spoons afficianado, not having a branch locally, but did meet friends in one yesterday.The beer was dull ,from the regionals:tired and lackluster. Is this generally the case,or were we unlucky? Looking on Pubsandbeers.co.uk,the 'spoons in Kent at least seem to carry more interesting fare.I'm not really prepared to risk my beer money in finding out!
I was considering rejoining CAMRA, but on Saturday's performance, I'd be hard pressed in spending the vouchers!

To be fair, they do vary quite a lot. I'm lucky in having one that's half decent. My BOTW was drunk there. My common criticism of the chain, is that they invariably serve beers a little too cold.

More to the point, it says that they are doing Moonraker, one of my all time favourite beers. If I find one selling that it will be time to set up camp.
