Title: Are We Getting Our 100%?
Post by: Just One More on January 14, 2012, 09:07:24 AM
 I wonder how many others are doing this  (http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/8/news-headlines/65093/pintsized-row-comes-to-a-head)

What sort of owner marches into one of his pubs on New Years Eve and shuts it down at 2030hr's   Wankah:  A great way to get publicity, obviously trained at the Gerald Ratner School of Salesmanship  ::)

I did once ask the landlord who served me a pint with a full inch head on it to place it on a shelf for 10 minutes and see how much beer I actually got.
Sure enough once settled it was far short of the top of the glass. He claimed it was evaporation due to the heat.  ::)

He then asked me to leave  evil:

When the children were small, I worked in the pub next door & always gave good measure (waits for smutty remark). If the beer was playing up I would tell the customer to take a sip & then top it up. Before I could say this to one of the regulars one day, trying to be clever he came out with the 'Can you put a whisky in that', I replied 'sorry, no' - he didn't do it again.
