Indeed. Not much else to chuck it at in there, bar Ardbeg and that's only arrived on my request during the lock-down
Maybe these making a comeback is the answer, they're metal or wood so nobody can glass anyone else and they're too nice to just ruin by clocking someone else anyway, especially if people get them personalised. Peasants can just tie them around their tunics with a piece of string and scoop up the liquid from a big communal beer bucket when they get to the establishment ... it's handily also something to piss in when the queue for the one working gender neutral cubicle is just too long
Back in the day, you weren’t a true regular at the local unless you had your own tankard hung up behind the bar. Not sure when that died out tbh, or if it still goes on in some old village boozers. Can’t say I’ve seen it for absolute beards.
The new pub sign has arrived. Commissioned from my eldest daughter's mate who's a TV and film set designer. Has a bit of time on her hands at the moment. Looks ****ing great Established 1764
All coming together now. The construction and allied trades are in there mob-handed. Bogs all painted now. Sparks in today and the refurbished pub sign goes up tomorrow. Some more general painting around the pub. New floor in the 'disco area' I'm there to provide advice and moral support. Small party of Friday night.
It's actually starting to look really nice in there now. Looking more and more like a Stockton Heath pub
Perhaps there will be freshly baked, home made croissants and pain au chocolat to look forward to for the breakfast crowd, while they sip on their cafe au lait and chocolat chaud ??
No Price rise and no food. We will have a barber available in the function room one day a week. He's the bloke who normally cuts my hair
