(not like when I was young, we were all miserable).


Talk for yourself - I had a fantastic childhood - most of the summer either on the beach or in the woods building dens (wouldn't be considered safe now)............ I had free meals at school and we were too poor to go abroad on holiday and I had totally bonkers parents - but I was very happy indeed!

May I cordially suggest he try this approach in the Whetherspoons in Peckham.

I'm confident the parents' response will make him long for a Mrs *Bob* style eye tent-pegging.

But actually I'm with Quids, your 'friend' doesn't actually do this, does he?

Bob he still has two eyes so he couldnt have met your other half, I wonder if she knows you fancy me . The thing is, everyone expects everyone to like and tolerate children. I was in Sainsbury's, the checkout woman say's are you collecting books for schools vouchers, I say 'no i dont like children' and everyone near by gasps and stares at me speechless. No humour, nothing, just shocked faces. Result for me as she undercharged and off i strolled leaving the stunned queue behind me .

Nice people, your friend doesn't have a beard does he (or she)? :))

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]
