'Bevy' is a shortened form of the word 'beverage', which as you can see, only has ONE 'V' in it.
A 'bevy' of ****s is very different to a 'bevvy' of ****s
Someone fetch Rachel Riley and dictionary corner

Tell that to the Oxford dictionary mate
So tell me. Are you saying that the word 'beverage' has two 'Vs' in it? Are you also saying that 'bevy/bevvy' is not a shortened form of that word?
Well who's the ****er that did, ****chops?
Oxford University Press, who write the Oxford English Dictionary mate.
I'm sure they'll be able to answer your query
"Eh lad, ders only one v in bevy yanno"
Not much happening over the weekend. Last Sunday's family fun day was rounded off with pool and dominoes tournaments, but I was elsewhere watching the match.
A bloke who's been banned for life came in with 3 of the other sniffers, because it was his birthday. He was told to **** off in no uncertain terms and she wouldn't serve the other 3 until he did. He told Denice that The Cheese was on his 'manor' as he's a 'Latchford Lad' and she couldn't dictate who could and couldn't come in. That went well. Denice's language is worse than mine when she gets going

That sort of thing often happens in my local pub. The locals don't like to be dictated to by Landlords/Landladies as they see them all as transitory. Still funny to watch the numpties, though.
Having not been in a pub in 20+ years not too sure on pub culture:
Is it normal then that Landlords/Landladies don't last very long in place and change a lot?

Played two footy tournament in two days (plus regular footy on Friday night) so I'm walking like a duck today...
These days they don't seem to last that long. A year, 2-5 maybe if they're good. About 10 years ago Landlords and Landladies were pretty much fixtures unless they were crap. But I suppose it probably varies from area to area.
Landlady at a pub just outside Shrewsbury retired last year after 75 years,(took on the licence at 20 when her father died) her son runs it now and she says she is just going to help out when it gets busy!
I remember having double-headers some nights... we always thought it would be a good idea to go get a beer between games.
It never was!
