For many years club policy has denied members food in the evenings other than race nights. For very good reasons, the club is surrounded by restaurants. This policy however appears not to apply to staff serving behind the bar as born out by a recent conversation.
Member "Why isn`t there a decent Suchi bar in the village"?
Girl "Cant stand out like tha`me. Mi friend talked us inner avin a birrer scollop t`other deer, a torld im teersts like shite"
Member "Really ! perhaps you should try something like marinaded mackerel, or perhaps oysters and a drop of chilled Chablis"
Girl " Yoo teckin`t piss uh wat "?
Member "No no no not at all marinaded mackerel is favourite of mine"
Girl " Mebbee `tis ye favrit but yull be bloody lucky te gerri` in `eer"
Girl dissappears from building only to return a few minutes later with a take away box of spicy chicken wings
. In full view of the now more than slightly peckish member commences chomping her way through it`s contents.
Member "Good God what have you got there"
Girl " Wha` th`ell do it look like, spicy chicken wings, and dunt ye look at me like that I dunt mek bloody rules !!
Member "Another large house double please, if you`ll forgive me for interrupting supper !!
No wonder the bloody beer is undrinkable...
ReplyDelete'I don't like soap operas'.... but boy am i really enjoying these tales from, as i heard one wife put it last year.. 'That Club'. I've also described it as a 'Broad Church' and boy it's going to have to be in the coming months.
ReplyDeleteWhat with ale purchased close to the use by date ( it usually tastes like after last years date ) for economic reasons, a smallish turn over, the poor staff are up against it. Even if the pumps, cellar and pipes are upgraded/ renewed i have a horrible feeling it won't make a ha'peth of difference. On top of everything i have another feeling it's very very boring behind the bar serving the regulars. Let's discreetly check BN has never served or had weapons training and smoke the peace pipe tonight. Or i think it could be another blood bath on the six o'clock news !
The whole thing is crap and by the way interrupting has 2 rs xx
ReplyDeleteLast night, in St Mawes Sailing club the beer was a health hazard. From the other side of my pint of lager i could not only hear the slurping but see the scowling and peering.
ReplyDeleteA change of barrel will remedy this !
I think i'm right in saying, it was not untill barrel 4 that i heard someone say ' It's a bit better ' What a pantomime.
Poor customers... POOR STAFF.
I think i'm right in saying our membership fee left our bank account last week. £90 was it ? For christ sake.
Oh well.. Like Woody Allen said after he rolled off his lady friend,
' That was the most fun i've had without laughing '
Thanx for correcting the spelling! Makes me look silly and I can't see a way of deleting my comment. I'd have thought 'out' in this case would be owt!
