Do your members of Parliament were filthy coveralls and smell like piss?
This was in 2007, so prices have certainly gone up but this place was half the price of other London pubs.
You were probably in one of the Lords' bars.

Have you seen the state of this country?
There used to be a pub near e in Dorset where it was a £1 double.
The publican took any holidays to France with his van

Just one more reason not to drink beer, which is pretty horrible. Mind you, even if it was a penny a pint I still wouldn't touch the yeasty muck.

The amount of yeast is dependent upon the amount of food available to it. Whisky, for example, begins life as a form of beer (malted grain, water and yeast) before it's distilled and aged.

Or doing my job.

Snap. 
Quote: Dr Sanchez @ May 28 2011, 4:46 PM BSTI don't mind cashiers not smiling or being a bit moody, because they have a shit job and probably hate themselves.
But I do want them to acknowledge my existence. I absolutely hate it when they are having a full blown conversation with another colleague while serving me.
It makes me feel like I'm interfering with their fun.
This pisses me off. Someone has to do sales/be a cashier, or all you guys who couldn't possibly inflate your own balloons or figure out a self-service checkout would bitch even more. Sometimes it's so busy that you have to discuss things while you're putting items through, and this makes sense especially when the customers themselves are being moody. If I had a pound for every time I tried to chat to a customer politely and got rude or terse replies, I'd make a hell of a lot more money than I do now. My job's not shit, my pay is; and people thinking I should hate myself for doing a necessary job which they think they're above somehow makes it that little bit more difficult.
