it's tempting to believe that that song really captures the feeling of being a tory

think it might be the b-side to this old school banger:

A few members of the crowd brandished a pig's head - a taunt to Muslims who do not eat pork - and took turns taking bites out of it.

nothing says you're a valuable member of a civilised society like patiently waiting your turn to gnaw on a pig's head in the street

just found out that in 1672 the dutch ATE their then-prime minister, johan de witt (along with his brother), in a protest against incompetence

they were likely encouraged in this act of politically symbolic cannibalism by william prince of orange. this belongs in the REAL ENGLAND thread bcz 16 years later the english hired william prince of orange to be our king william-and-mary, and shortly after this unleashed the curse of orange on ireland

mark s, Monday, 12 June 2017 12:08 (six years ago) link

somewhere out there there's a parallel world where the orange order's tradition is eating the rich instead of bowler hats, sashes and the least rousing marching bands ever

yet more evidence that we're living in the darkest timeline

having said that they're not rousing, i should give the bastards credit for unfailingly managing to wake me up on pleasant summer saturday mornings when they march past my house

scares the shit out of the cats, too

bring your kids and drink all day, to your social worker's dismay

calzino, Friday, 21 July 2017 13:08 (six years ago) link

I’ve given up on J.D.Wetherspoon’s Sir Robert Peel pub in Bury. For years I’ve gone on Sunday afternoon for a meal and a few pints. Now I’ve moved to another pub nearby, less choice of beers, more expensive food, but with some idea what customer service means, which Wetherspoon’s seem to have lost altogether.

They need more and better-trained staff. It’s common to stand at the bar for several minutes waiting for a staff member to appear, only for them then to serve their mates first. How do I know they’re their mates? Because they call them by name, and serve them all before asking “Who’s next?” Even if you walk up to an empty bar you have to wait for the bar staff to finish their chit-chat. Once, when I asked one of them if I’d suddenly become invisible, I obviously had, as she walked the length of the bar to serve somebody who hadn’t even reached it yet.

Now winter’s here the pub is bitterly cold, as it is every winter. Almost everybody sits in topcoats, and there appears to be no source of heating.

The cold also applies to the food. You can sit near the kitchen and see meals emerge only to spend five or ten minutes getting colder before someone arrives to deliver them to a table. Incidentally, the tables are cleared with the frequency of petrol price reductions, and with the same reluctance.

Still on food, Wetherspoons make much of their Steak Night, but if you order a steak dish on Sunday, you’ll get an ordinary knife, completely unsuitable and unusable. If you ask for a steak knife they can’t find any, even if you’re the only person eating food of any sort. Do they hire the cutlery for Tuesday nights only?

Amazingly, this pub serves a whisky in a half-pint glass. It’s true. When I asked for it to be changed I was told they didn’t have whisky glasses, always served it that way, and nobody else complained. Really? Everybody I’ve told is frankly incredulous. Eventually, having been shown every type of glass behind the bar, I got my whisky in a wine glass, unsatisfactory, but the best they could do. This aberration also applies to the Wetherspoon’s on Piccadilly in Manchester! As with steaks, I can’t understand why Wetherspoon’s boast about their whisky selection and prices, when they haven’t a clue how to serve them.

I do miss the guest ales, I admit, but not enough to sit all afternoon without heating or eating or being able to finish off with a whisky in a proper glass. Until I hear things have improved I won’t be back.

Yours regretfully

Ex-customer

The manager of one of my closest Wetherspoons being quizzed by the local newspaper.

He said: “We have implemented a dress code. No tracksuit bottoms and no baseball caps.”

Didn’t that exclude half of Chatham?

“Yes,” he conceded,

My actual local Wetherspoons has large Rod Hull and Kelly Brook infographics on the walls. It's good, though.
