Depending what type of pub it is, no hench dogs i would of put a brick through her window there and then. mate tbh i would keep sending shit till she pays up or just run the bill up to £70 that your owed.

I find that ringing up the pub at two in the morning and asking for the money very therapeutic.

When it comes to police involvement, i've had the pleasure of being searched twice. Fortunately on both occasions the police were fine, but there is always the chance you'll come across a cop who has you marked guilty until proven otherwise. Funnily enough on both occasions my lifestyle made for a good talking point..!

Frustrating that you can be made to feel guilty for going about your day to day, legit, business.

I agree that (toolers aside) none of us are doing anything illegal.

I do, however, think that calling it "day to day legit business" may be pushing it a tad

Agree with Rude . i have a pub where the landlady thinks i have a serious gambling problem , this pub is really struggling for trade and she says if things dont pick up she will have to leave in the next few weeks, i have promised her a pool team and a darts team in the new season 6 weeks from now ... why ? the reason is this she has a p2 winstopper and a power5 unchipped in the same pub i must have took the place for 2k at least and i honestly feel guilty about it , she cant of made a penny and of course this pool team will never exsist.

i did this as the last 2 weeks she started to get suspicions and told me they havent made anything but she knows a couple of the locals play it a lot and never win especially on the p5 suprise suprise.

although its not illegal it certainly at a push is morally wrong although the bastard and greediness inside me makes me return every 3 days or so and promise her the earth with false statements of hope, she really believes i am going to do this but i had to to keep her onside.

is that wrong? in my opinion yes... would like to type more but i have a p5 and a winstopper to deal with !!!

Uplifting story Mr Cheese

I've been accused of being a thief before and threatened with the Police, so I actually called the police first and got all the money back from the fruity that landlord mugged off me ( I could have pressed charges, but it was xmas eve, last thing you want (is a quiz:P) is to give a statement when you've been hanging around outside the pub waiting for the police to turn up. for 20 mins or so )
