Rub the liquid between your fingers and if has a slightly greasy quality then it is a sure sign that there is still cleaning fluid in the line. A few years ago some idiot put the cleaner straight through the system without the water and served a pint of cleaning fluid. The punter lost half his stomach and can't eat solids. Spill some on your jeans and will burn right through.
went out with a girl from Tadcaster a few times , there are a couple of nice Sam Smiths there - the pubs are quiet and cheap , complete opposite to the ex - also have avoided Tadcaster ever since , everybody looks similar to each other .......
They have a ancient £25 in the one near me and i got tops for £35 and the whole pub turned around when it came out but i know the landlady so she wasnt bothered On the plus side the Ayingerbrau / Alpine is only £1.68 a pint and i remeber in 1998 it was £1.44 a pint so thats a 24p increase in 11 years lol
yeah had the misfortune of smoking sum hasheesh in the beer garden of one of these boozers...was snitched on by sum locals and promptly barred...no music, no tv, oldest bitches in town and it had one of those ice themed red gaming machines...
No music, No TV, No pool and cheap beer is the Spoons formula which seems to be sucessful as they are the only pub chain still expanding. On the other hand noisy chav-ridden shit-holes like Yates's have closed a large number of theirs.

Except they do have TVs and live sport in all of them now! And music in all the Lloyds as well...
I'm sure it hasn't escaped peoples attention that whilst wanting to appear a real pub, spoons have a ridiculous amount of fruits onsite - I know one pub with 7 and one with 8!
My mate used to run a pub wot he owned dno wot car he drove tho, It had a Bully for You and a Jewel in crown bandit and always had a nice pool table, someone was raping the bandits.

i was in a pub the other day which had skinned a leopard to dress the pool table.
yeah it was pretty cool except some dozy doris had spilled her vodka lime and soda all over it. and there was no quiz machine so no real interest. (much like this post.)
