    Or, in the absence of any real ales, being obliged to get J*hn Smiths Sm**th in any kind of glass at all...

    Being a MILD drinker - when being informed they haven't got it, they offer you J*hn Smiths as some sort of alternative - Why?, what has that pee got in common with MILD? it's like asking for directions to a Bathams pub and being pointed to a Spoons

    One pet hate is going in for a meal and finding that one leg of the table only touches the floor when I try to cut my food. Waste of a good beermat.

    Or taking your first mouthfull out of a freshly poured pint and then realising the lipstick on the rim of the glass aint your shade.

    Hmmm, can't say I worry about what the glass says, the contents are the best bit and who cares if some think I'm drinking JS or not?

    But then I was used to all glasses having NAAFI on them

    PS, I do worry if lippy does not match though

    Pubs are a hobby, real ale is a passion. Oh, and like me dogs, fear no evil..........

    One of my personal pet hates is going to pub for quiet pint before the football game, only to find hundreds of drunken visiting supporters take over your pub.

    It happened yesterday at Silk Kite meaning I walked out Silk Kite without buying a pint. I had to settle for safe pub, White Lion which is very popular with home supporters.

    I have one, dimpled pint pot with handle & NAAFI logo, found it in a charity shop. Seems I should take care of it if they no longer exist
