OK. Go into pub this lunchtime and wanted to get some cider. Standing by bar checking if they had any Bulmers ... no But see some Brothers (Hitches favourite, I believe ) so ask for two bottle of that.
Conversation goes.

Hoovie: "Two bottles of Brothers please"
Barmaid: "Strawberry or Pear"
H: "Pear"
B: "you can't have the Pear"
H: "Why?"
B: "It's not for sale"
H: "Why not? it's in the cabinet"
B: "It's for the staff"
H: "Well, why is it in the chilled cabinet on display? that's a bit stupid isn't it?"
B: "No! why is it stupid?"

So the dumb barmaid asks me if I want a drink, and then she then says it not for sale despite it being displayed for sale, and then takes offence that I am implying she is stupid

I couldn't not quite believe the "strawberry cider" have to say - sounds disgusting ! hence I said "Pear" - which is ok.

Don't like the cloudy scrumpy - too headache inducing.

Tonight I'll be on the 'Thatchers Gold' cider and listening to a couple of jazz/folk bands peforming in a big tent on a hill

Being a grumpy old git I would have asked for the manager and said - "so you provide nice cool drinks for your staff but not your customers - you know that ones that PAY for the drinks that you provide for your staff. If I were you I would go and get a new job and blooming quickly. I am off to the pub down the road, bye bye".

What was the outcome then hoovie?, did you demand to see the manager?

I had pint and a half of Strongbox instead

I only go to that pub the first week in August each year anyway.
