Enough said.<br /><br />Mudge, I wonder whether the converse is true. Do chav lesbians work as prostitutes in Maidenhead? Either way seems plausible. I hope the politically correct loonies are reading. Something is needed to finish them off.<br /><br />You weren't harsh on Wokingham. Whilst 22:20 on a Monday may not be its strong card, you can only judge based on the evidence provided. It is a fine line between risking giving out that experience or not bothering opening at likely quiet times like the bloke in Haigh.<br /><br />Dagger for DuncanTom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-35233644133534567142016-04-27T20:50:25.203+01:002016-04-27T20:50:25.203+01:00That makes sense now Martin, they could well have ...That makes sense now Martin, they could well have been, prostitutes have been a bit of a BRAPA theme in 2016. In any case, I hope no-one too P.C. has had the misfortune to encounter by Blog yet! <br /><br />Can't decide if Wokingham would have been lovely on a sunny Saturday daytime drinking session, maybe I was harsh.<br /><br />Wargrave barman seemed very surprised when I criticised handled jugs. W m Hawkes in Hull get very touchy about it too, as do some York pubs that think they are 16th century despite being built 5 years ago (the Guy 'Fakes' Inn for example). I may choose the handle ahead of one of those Adnams monstrosities though.<br /><br />Rugby fans, very scary. If Grenfell was Local Hero (and it may explain 10am opening), it had an ambitious range. <br /><br />Something about that basic stripped back primeval feel of being in pub which seems interlinked with basic 'bodily functions', I can't quite put it into words but there's a crossover somewhere! ;) Si 'BRAPA' Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291680772889990384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-25107127981594749072016-04-26T07:57:29.986+01:002016-04-26T07:57:29.986+01:00Do prostitutes masquerade as chav lesbians on thei...Do prostitutes masquerade as chav lesbians on their day off?

Those nice people you met in Maidenhead were almost certainly prostitutes by the way.<br /><br />It's good to see a consistent line on "Meet the Brewer" (no - dull as death) and handled jugs.<br /><br />Queens Head was good but caught it on Six Nations day last year (rare return visit), rugby fans scare me.<br /><br />Glad the Grenfell was decent, it was a young enthusiastic chap I thought had an over-ambitious range one, thought it was a Local Hero ?retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.com
