    It looks like the little metal buckets days are indeed numbered. Recently I've spotted chips in miniature deep fat fryer baskets and in those little porcelain bowls which look like tiny commodes.

    I love this list!! I've added "Nicotine Bouncers" to my vocabulary to go with the "Woodbine Guard Of Honour".

    Yep, that would pee me off if I ordered a sarnie from menu that claimed "served with chips" and it turned up with handful of Smartprice crisps on the side

    Guess at least with poncey "fries" one hopes sort of real chips are involved, even if bloody crinkle cut & from Makro

    Wow I’m grumpy today!!!

    People who say in an accusatory manner things like “blimey you can drink can’t you” or “wow, that must be your fifth pint”.

    Pubs that close early because the governor is tired or there aren’t enough customers to warrant staying open.

    # 7 Pub garden or a doorway that are polluted with a week’s worth of cigarette butts.

    #112 People that think they are in the post office and queue perpendicularly to the bar thus confusing the usual pub going folk.

    #343 A Pub dog or cat begging for food.

    #345 people that moan about children misbehaving in the pub, but think their dog getting in the way, barking, threatening other animals and begging for food is perfectly acceptable.

    #657 People that leave their glass on the table even though they have to pass the bar to exit.

    # 658 The quarter of a pint that is left on a table all afternoon by someone doing #657 because the staff do not want to do #659.

    #879 Outdated advertisements on the pub’s exterior that advertise something that is long gone e.g. ale, food, pool, dart, Sky….

    Pubs that advertise a secret garden which is in fact a garden.
