Pubs

I don't normally whinge about pubs ,they generally dispense hop based drinking products which I like very much, in pleasant surroundings , with convivial people, but I have to report that the establishment we visited on Friday evening failed miserably . I won't name and shame but it's THE **** at Gibraltar .
Last time we came through here the pub was just changing hands and the new owners have gone to considerable efforts to make the pub much worse than it used to be. It appears that they have set themselves some low targets and have consistently failed to meet any of them . That said they must be commended for their colour scheme , using I'd say pretty much all of the Wilco paint colour chart, from hearing aid beige through banana vomit yellow to geriatric purple.
I'd like to offer some handy hints from the 'My First Big Book of Beer Keeping'
1. If you offer beer make sure you have some , it's a guest beer not a
guess-it's-all-gone beer
2. Put some beer mats on the table, they soak up all the stickiness. That way I won't have to prise my phone off with a pallet knife
3. The meat raffle is always a winner but keep the fact that you've lost one of your Jack Russels to yourself
4 . If you have a sign on a blackboard which reads
Canalside
Seating
And
Beer garden
Please do not position a plant which manages to obscure the first letter of each word!
