@Britains___Pubs A couple of weeks ago when I ordered my usual pint but spotted a new pump; I was offered a taste but ordered a half to get a better idea of it.
@Britains___Pubs A few years ago. I went to a local bar, not a pub because it was a trendy place in an old warehouse, and asked for two pints of Leffe, the barman said “you can only have it in halves”, “”why?” I asked, “because it’s strong and the management won’t let you have pints”
@AvonandsomerRob No. Bought the posh ones and spreading them out over the weekend starting with a couple of small ones yesterday and building up to Sunday.
Didn’t buy anything for each other just the children.
Worked out cheaper and no sugar tantrums from anyone either, I feel it’s a win.
Call me what you will, but this is how I choose to start my drinking this weekend. In my defence, I am on a train with no toilets, and my bladder is very old..!
It's clear from the last few days of babyish insults from clock-fiddlers that this is really a dispute between people who get up at 7.00 in the morning, and people who might get up at 10.00, or perhaps later. mol.im/a/15694043 via @DailyMail
Security guard caught with £65,000 drugs stash jailed after police raid
Mohammed Waheed, 23, has been jailed after officers uncovered a major stash of drugs and cash at his flat in Preston.
Police found:
115g of cocaine worth £34,000+
Nearly 400g of cannabis
Over £32,000 in cash
Scales and a burner phone linked to dealing
The former Fishergate Centre security guard admitted supplying Class A and B drugs and possessing criminal property.
A judge said the amount of cash and drugs showed “significant involvement” in dealing, despite Waheed claiming he was struggling with addiction at the time.
He has now been sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Someone posted this on Facebook...so true!
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Anyway!

Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It's time to apply

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges....
And we all know what we think of Bankers.
I hope this goes around the UK at least 1,000,000,000 times!!!
YOU can help it get there!
It's 1976 and I'm 8 years old. It's that beautiful summer and the school holidays.
I've made a makeshift tent in the garden from an old bed sheet and a few wooden poles. Dad has just finished his shift at the factory. He's worn out, but he comes into the garden to see my brother and me playing.
We're eating cheese, tomato and salad cream sandwiches, made with Mothers Pride sliced bread, and drinking orange squash. The ice cream van will arrive at 4pm on the estate.
Our garden is our world.
All of the windows and doors are open in the house. The heat is stifling.
Ladybirds roam free. Dad has fallen asleep on the sun bed.
That tent would remain in place for weeks to come.
These are childhood memories.
We must hold on to them.
@wibblyteapot How many know that for 3 years between 1968-1971 the clocks did NOT change? And even if they decide never to change to clocks again we would be on GMT. That is exactly what we have just changed to yesterday, I am all for NOT changing the clocks again. I welcome lighter nights.
Peter Hitchens is called a "fanatic" for wanting to address the clock change
The state takes away one hour from everyone's lives, in the middle of the night, hoping no-one will notice
one hour of jet lag, the next day
body clock messed up
Life is short, and every second counts
people diddled into starting work one hour early, on the Monday morning, and people think that is normal
I call that... insane
This girl on TikTok said: If I buy a window seat on a plane and your child is sitting in my seat when I get there, please don’t expect me to “let them have it” cause they’re crying. Get your child out my seat. You should have purchased a window seat for them. You can never make me feel bad for feeling entitled to the seat I purchased.
