    Was at the game today in the north lower day in the red hot sun.
    Chatting to the bloke next to me, in the concourse they were charging £4 for a small bottle of water, the robbing fuckers.
    Ouch!!... I purchased a Pepsi from the concourse today (£2.70) yet looked to see how much water was on the board in case I needed an extra drink

    That said £2 so thats disgusting if they were overcharging to benefit from what was going to be extra demand!!

     Bottled water was £2 in the west.

    It's been £2 last 3 times I've been.

    I think Lord Snooty of the Tory party is on to something when he talks about dropping the comma after the word and, and several phrases which are not to be used any more.

    An electric cattle prod up the rusty bullet hole from me for those who continue to use the following phrases:

    I don't want to sound racist/homophobic/mysogynistic, but.....
    Listen, I'm being truthful now.. (You're not the rest of time then).

    Constantly checking online banking and email feeds to see if a non paying one is going to do as she's promised for the last 5 days and pay her bill. It's always the ones you go the extra miles for and who are worth the wedge, who ultimately let you down

  • Paying for an UBER and the people who shared it not coughing up their part of the bill.  
  • Queing up in a packed Bartrams (Brentford game) and the clown
    in front orders a pint of Fosters then plays by credit card, giving 
    the bar staff problems because the fu--ng machine is not working
    correctly. I can understand a round of 4 or more paid by card, but
    one drink come on mate!
  • Or he gives a £20 note and the bar staff are faffing around for change.

    Same here mate. The only downside for me is that I don’t have a few hundred quid in my change pot at the end of the year anymore.

    Not to mention finding a cash machine in Charlton or queuing for it before a game is a bloody hassle too

    100% agree, even those who have run up a large tab seem to "forget" to tip when they pay with a card...

     If the EFT Machine asks, I'll often click yes and chuck on 10% at restaurants, not sure I've ever done that in a bar, but they're a bit different. I don't tend to stay in them for more than a couple of drinks and usually pay for each one, or my whole round at a time.

  • Going to a card only drinking establishment on one of the hottest days of the year only for the machines to go down leaving hundreds in the queue, in sweltering heat unable to buy a drink. And the bar staff scratching there heads because they can't accept any other form of payment.

    Tip? In a bar? Not in this country, I understand the custom on the continent where a waiter serves you but a bar where you are paying top dollar for average drinks never.

    It's 2019. Many places are card only these days & cash will become rarer and rarer.
  • Increasingly hear the expression, The Island of Ireland.

    We all know Ireland is an island, the reunification of Ireland will suffice, there is no need for the additional information.

    Yes talking about table service here in Portugal, CK. Though the bar staff in the UK are not to blame for the price of drinks.

    When your football bet is coming in and the other team get a last gasp equaliser (backed Millwall who were 2-0 up with 3 mins left)
  • My personal rules if ever I put down an Acca

     - Never bet on Charlton winning... They'll always fail!!
     - Never bet on Palace or Millwall to win... Just doesnt feel right, I mean if your waiting on one of their games to win you £1,000 where its currently 0-0 and they get a last minute winner? No just no as would probably celebrate the goal!!

    They do. I had this in mind when I wrote my previous post. I the pub that we use at work they have a glass for tips. Its in the British Museum area so I think the tourist will contribute. This pub sells some of the worst kept beer in England but I suppose they can get away with it with a non ale drinker. The tip they will ever get for me isn't money but advice on beer quality. I always try before I buy nowadays.
