Public Houses

Postby John Boyd » Fri Mar 10, 2017 7:46 am

I know it's bad, but it may raise a larf or even a titter?!

The worst pub I've ever been to was called The Fiddle.
It really was a vile inn.

I remember The Fiddle - it was in Bow.

And everybody said "Cello there!" as I walked in.

The was a pub in a bit of a rough area in Cheltenham called the 'Cat & Fiddle' which locals used to call 'The Cat'
I don't know if that was reference to what the beer tasted like,I went in it a couple of times many years ago
and it had a certain reputation about it for the characters who used it

There used to be a pub in Bristol like that. I wouldn't say it was rough, but the air freshener was a dead pig hung in the corner.

And the bouncer was stood at the door throwing people in.

I was approached by a policeman and he said, "You're not carrying a flick-knife are you?" When I said no he said, "You'd better borrow mine, then, here you are."

One from my college days in Portsmouth . . . .

A sample of Brickwoods beer was sent to the Public Analyst.

His report said "Your horse has sugar diabetes"

One from Oz..

A kangaroo goes into a pub and asks for a pint.

The barman serves him and says 'that's $15 please'..

The kangaroo takes the money out of his pouch and pays for the beer.

The barman says, conversationally, 'we don't get many kangaroos in here'..

The kangaroo says..'I'm not surprised at these f*ckin' prices'..
