I actually do give a few pubs a £5 when changing up! Sometimes it helps other times you still get banned! You have to remember that after tax thats an extra hours wage for them!

For a minute I thought you said you went to a pub in hull, not hell, then realised the two were much the same!

Matt - I often wonder if people question the social dynamics of ordering x drink at x time. Fortunately I have only been questioned once, when I ordered a coffee. When told they don't sell it (a hotel not serving coffee?!) I asked for half a fosters which admittedly probably looked pretty strange...

I don't know where you guys stand on note pay but surely it's going to help. I'm a casual punter with "few" methods but even I sometimes feel the glare of unhappy landlords. Since a few machines have gone to note pay they don't seem to bat an eyelid!

Its truly truly awful out there at the minute, sick of being scrutinised and frowned upon, worst i've ever known it, i went to a pub that scott got barred from on Tuesday, got collared for being his mate, just wanted the pot before the expected power-cut, as was 70 involved, (why do machines always play up when under pressure?) was a lep gold that wouldn't stop zig-zagging.
Last week, 70 involved in a C&R, every board phoning, i knew it was fire, she hadn't missed a move and then i heard a klunk, she came out and took the plug out and claimed it was 'tripping all the electrics' absolute crap

read my signature so bloody right!
merry christmas

Obviously for the sound part it's a good thing, but if they have an interest in you on their machine they will be watching you closely anyway, they clock you taking note after note after note and they'll be on top of you in no time.

Edit. You could make it look like you're putting a note in and it's being rejected, straighten each one out, unfold the corners and such, might work.

Similar too the time i had to refill an Inde with 9 quid in an empty pub, i devised a system of putting a penny in just after the pound so they heard the penny drop through and i made a fuss about it not taking the coin, it worked!

the pub in question brought to our table the worst bangers n mash meal ever

sausages that were hard like biscuits ,,,,,,,,,, obviously aldi sausages , 500 in a bag for a quid jobbys

3 peas each

no onions in the gravy

gravy that was just thin coloured water

and my biggest bugbear ,,,,,,,,, fucking watermash ,,,,,,,,,,, at least put some butter in it you tight bastards

awful ,,,,,, and paid a tenner for it

people may knock spoons food , but its a damm sight better than half the other pub shit at the mo

its like the recession is hitting everyone , and pubs are trying to squeeze every last ounce of profit out of everything .

but dont they realise their shooting themselves in the foot ,,,,,,,,, ??? ,,,,, because if you have a bad meal ,,,,, you dont go back.
