DiegoDiego Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, Salt n Vinegar said: Further to that, pubs that serve cocktails without having enough staff to serve normal folk a pint without waiting half an hour while the lone barman has to use 5 different spirit bottles, 4 fruit juice cartons, slices up 3 different fruits, works his way through a bucket of ice and shakes his arms around like a rock drummer on acid. In my last bar job I hated it when some group of tossers would order eight mojitos or whatever, the markup really wasn't enough to justify the time, should have been a weekdays only option. On a Saturday night everyone can do without that unless it's a bar which specialises in them. Same went for families ordering four hot chocolates on a Sunday lunchtime, you'd always run out of one of the ingredients and have to run to the stock room for more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a right hankering for a Rum and pep. I remember the cluster of bottles on the bar for people to avail themselves of blackcurrant, lime, pep and lemonade. You had to pay for cola if you were in a pub that had it. Mixer guns were but a glint in the barman's eye.

The boozer I worked in for a bit wheeled out a bottle of strawberry cordial for Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should've been barman, obviously. No such luxury as strawberry in any pubs I worked or drank in. What would you out it in? An Eldorado daquiri?

die hard doonhamer Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 For sale signs being put up anywhere other than on the property that is being marketed. A for sale sign on open land at the end of a street looks absolutely shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Switched on my computer and there were 50 emails waiting on me" Everyone knows that probably means maximum 30-40 and everyone also knows that half of those will be marketing emails. Sorry I took so long to comment on this, I had hunners of emails to go through. Agreed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The use of the argument ‘…if it helps [insert unmeasurable benefit here] then implementing [insert proposed policy/rule/system here] can only be a good thing’ Seen this used a lot recently. Triggered this morning by the argument for introducing blue cards to football, similar to VAR arguments for those who say ‘if it improves decision accuracy that can ONLY be a good thing’. Let’s just discard weighing up costs vs benefits in any material change of process in any walk of life. ‘I robbed a charity of £250 out of their petty cash, but anything that helps feed my daughter can only be a good thing’ (may have made this one up) Rant over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
