I went to the pub tonight.
Not the Waggon & Horses.
I had three pints and came home with €5:70 more than I went out with.
This seems like a good scheme.

In the 1960s there were reports of voices heard in the cellar of the Waggon & Horses when no one was in there, dogs refused to go into the cellar and furniture was moved round in the bar when it was unoccupied. Or so people said.
Had walk to the main Post Office pick up bit on the Newport Road this dinnetime, to get a parcel.
Could see people queueing out the door as I approached. 1 lady on the desk dealing with everyone.
As I left, they were out the door and waiting at the bottom of the ramp.
The car park was once again full with staff cars, Customers were parking anywhere they could, and there was a queue starting on the NewPort Road.
Ridiculous.
I have never seen a Northern Ireland note in my entire life. Most people up there are aware that they aren't really accepted anywhere else in the 'United' Kingdom - it's hard enough trying to pay with a Scottish one...I'm liking the sound of Irish Currancy...
... Major panic at work today after a customer presented us with Irish £20 notes, 2 of them were different from each other! How didn't we know that there are 4 banks in (Northern) Ireland that print their own Currancy, so there are 4 completely different versions of each bank note....
Pikey Santa?and I become a reincarnated white van man again, Stafford beware, if the van has an old white bearded man in it
When I worked in a bakery we got a few scottish notes. Could have been monopoly money for all I knew. Used to just try to off-load them to the next customer who would accept them in their change.I'm liking the sound of Irish Currancy...

That's just taken me back to my younger days, sitting in the Sheridan with pop and crisps with my younger brother, while we being "looked after" by our big sister while Mum was at work . We would spend the afternoon in there then she would drive us home in her mini, no seat belts, and all was well with the world. Different times .The furniture used to move around in the Sheridan back in the day. Mind you, that was because the customers were throwing it ….
I don't really think it fully deserved its reputation, I used it quite a bit back in pub crawling days.
I'm sure there was a perfectly good explanation for those bloodstains on the carpet ….. and when I say carpet .. I'm stretching the truth a tad. Not so sure about the severed head in the toilet cistern …. but HEY, some people just can't hold their beer.
I went in the Sheridan once.I used to go in the Sheridan each weekend as part of the nightly pub crawls. Used to be a hell of a lot more pubs around to go pub crawling around in those days. Didn't take so long to get between pubs!
LiterallyAll her Christmases come at once...
We used to manage to get the Sandon rd pubs in , Four Crosses , Hop Pole etc, as well as The Gate, Prince of Wales. and town pubs. Mostly The Lamb, one across the road from the Lamb what ever it was called (only got vague memories of that one , but remember it having a disco) , Lord Nelson, The Shrew, Sheridan, Vine, Rose & Crown, The Chains, Nags head, The Bird in Hand ,( and another down Millstreet I can't remember..??? ) Coach & horses, Railway & The Grapes and Dirty Duck / Malt & Hops & The Sun. Before going on to the Grot. No-wonder I was always ill next morningStafford was a good town for an epic pub crawl back in its day … almost on a par with Rose Street in Edinburgh during my student days.
