non smoking pub customers who want to use the beer garden now the weather is getting better.No.
Red wine drinking landlord who said I am the only one who claims his beer is too warm sitting chatting to Kieth from Preston who then tells me he only drinks Titanic -stout (keg)because the cask beer is too warm and Del and Des no longer use the pub as the beer is too warm. Of course the landlord may be right and I am just a whinger.
People in beer gardens who put the overhead heaters on without considering bald people like me.My wife said my bonce looks sunburned.
Barstaff who tell me the house beer is specially brewed by Greene King only for this pub.The landlord went to the brewery to help them brew the beer.Really?
Micro pubs who don't keep to their opening hours and shut cause they are quiet.Course they will be quiet if they don't open when we need them.
Students in pubs. There was a large table of them at a JDW in Exeter yesterday. The problem is that unlike the feral, uncouth and boorish rabble of my student days these ones were polite, sober, not loud, clean cut and civilised.
What is the world coming to?
How can there ever be a remake of the Young Ones with students who behave like that?
The head barman who briefly stopped the young lad serving me with a pint of cask W&E Knight of the Garter, so he could check the clarity and condition of said pint,declaring it alright, I was suitably impressed with the professional attention, that was until he blew it with his parting comment, "It might need the gas turning up a bit"!
The pint was ok.
