If you Google Colton Staffordshire it's a small village and there are 2 pubs The Greyhound and The Dunn Cow i lived near the later and as we spoke earlier about having a stop over in the village pubs it brought back a few memories, My friend owned the Dunn Cow and i lived about 100 meters away from it, I was a and still am a Radio Ham and when i lived there i often would have my radio on in the background and sometimes the Police scanner, On many occasions after closing time i would hear one of the local pubs mentioned as someone who had a gripe maybe made a Phone call to say that there was after hours drinking going on even though there was no noise, I would just give them a call before the police got to the village as they had about a 5 mile journey just to warn them and they would take the appropriate steps, The one time i had a hand held scanner with me while i attended a stop over and heard that they were on there way so it was lights out and sit on the floor quietly, You could hear the Bobby outside looking through the windows with his torch and then we heard him report back that all was quiet as he drove away the stop over just resumed where it left off and he asked on his radio who had called the station and they revealed the culprit so after that we knew who it was and let them know that we knew , The landlord just said he had a tip off from a friendly policeman that they had a problem and he had no more trouble after that, It wasn't as if any harm was being done and there was no noise, To be honest the Police only attended because someone had reported it otherwise they just live and let live.
Yes there is an art to pouring Guiness if you go to Ireland they will have maybe 6 or 7 pints sitting on the Bar just topping them up gently one at a time until the Barman is satisfied it's right before he brings them over to you, You don't wait at the bar he delivers them to the table when he considers they are good enough, I understand what you mean about being poured wrong as if you pour Guiness wrong it looks a bloody mess and undrinkable.
I really enjoyed opening a bottle of Cider straight from the fridge on a warm summers evening and sitting in the garden and gently sipping it but i hated going to a Pub and being served with plastic glasses, I remember when they came in it was because there was trouble starting to occur in the town pubs and clubs by the younger generation, Thankfully the situation never reached the village pubs mainly because they would be be policed by the older members of the village and also respect was always shown as they had grown up there.
Long time since i seen those brands, Don't get very much chocolate here too expensive for the locals.
I agree but i also hate white chips if you get out of the London surroundings you find they are cooked in Beef dripping and are a nice brown color a nice splash of salt and vinegar a good piece of haddock and mushy peas served with the crusts off the ends of a loaf of bread.
Mushy peas with loads of vinegar superb.
I watched him eat this house special it was massive and covered in this very hot sauce, I could never have eaten that much.
