been scouting around new pubs. Walked in and checked the machines out - realised there shit and walked straight back out again ?
WIth the typical phrase being "next pub, machiens in here are shit".
Hands up...

A lot of pubs now you don't need to walk in to tell whats in or at least have a fair guess at what it is. With all the tooling e,t,c they're no longer hidden away in corners and most pubs have got shut of the old fashioned frosted glass windows.

All the time but I don't make my reasons for visit that obvious just incase I wish to return later.
If they question me I normally come up with a far-fetched impossible to match description,
"has a guy with a yellow jacket been in here yet"
or the simple "CANT YOU SEE IM ON THE PHONE?"

Many many times, either muttering about a non-existent mate who could be in any pub in the town, or in the case of old geezer boozers, enquiring whether they had seen my da - who generally cut about with an implausible name like Terrence Rafferty.

Regularly in and out ... "Oh, They're not here yet i'll just give them a ring to see where they are." Motion for phone in pocket and slip quietly out the door.
How many people have been spotted by barstaff or locals peering in through the window trying to get a glimpse of the machine without walking in??

"who me?"
seriously though its quite easy to check pubs on dark winter nights, just look for the glow, and they can't see you
Its a bastard when they shut the curtains though.... you don't know what you're walking into!!!

I normally think "fuck it, i'll have a quick shot of vodka while i'm in here" Helps me through another dismal day pressing buttons... (or standing patiently waiting for something to happen...)
