It does slow it down when the barman asks what do you mean by 'bitter'? Nothing to do with English language either. That can only be an absolutely lack of training.
“Bitter? What do I mean by bitter? I’ll tell you lad, firstly they promised us a world of gifts & free football, fan ownership & all sorts of other stuff. Then, oh yes then, the bastards, they didn’t get what they wanted & it all changed. They sacked off Barmby, no real reason, but ****ed him off anyway, tried to change the Club’s name, not once, but ****ing twice. I mean Hull Twatting Tigers have you ever heard such ****e? During this time they lied, bullied & threatened the supporters who didn’t support their ill advised & childlike strops & schemes. It didn’t stop there, oh no, they were just starting, warming up so to speak. Next they thought it a good idea to change the pricing policy, charge kids the same as adults, only upping their prices by upward of 500 nicker a season & pensioners, the backbone of our support through the hard times upped theirs too. Had the gall, the ****s, to call the dodgy as **** ****house Membership Scheme “Earn Your Stripes” I mean “Earn Your ****ing Stripes to an OA ****ing P with 70 years of support behind them. ****s. Crowds have gone & been replaced by small gatherings, people have been driven away in their droves. Many may never return. They said they’d sell in 24 hours 5 ****ing years ago still it goes on, there’s no ****ing end to the nightmare. That’s what I mean by bitter & you can bet your saggy love sack that I’m as bitter as most now two Carling & a Strongbow please & get a march on they’ll be out for the 2nd half in a minute you slacker”
Because the North Stand massive have migrated back into Kempton, the queues are ****ing massive again, like the good old days
Not just the kcom tho In the boozer last night One barmaid serving one Only me and another bloke waiting who had just walked up Bar man comes out and says to the fat lazy bint, who wants serving next? How would I ****ing know!! As I’d been stood there five minutes and the other bloke had just walked up Maybe you should you bone idle cow
Without getting into the politics or the decision Lady Hale of the Supreme Court was described in a national **** rag as an ‘ex-barmaid’ as a sign of criticism. Professions behind bars etc aren’t given as much credit here as they are in other countries, which is a shame I think. **** bar staff are really frustrating, but good ones...it’s a delight to watch them ply their trade and faultlessly run a bar by sideways glance and semi nod The staff at the KCOM aren’t really bar staff they are children paid to pass things to you. A vending machine would be better. When we used to go in Clarendon we always said if KCOM just employed the staff from there to pop over the bridge and run the bar at half time the club would make a fortune because you’d easily squeeze two in with their skills!
Best ever example was at my brothers birthday weekend in Blackpool. We stumbled across their equivalent of Silver Cod, on the day when the pitch invasion/ abandoned match occurred. It was very heated afterwards, and three or four deep at the bar. The barman totally took control, eye contact/ pointing to who was next, asked me if it was same again( four drinks). A master at work
There is nothing better than seeing a good bar person serve in the right order of people arriving at the bar. Nothing pisses me off more than them serving first someone that turned up after me.
Talking about low paid jobs, here, if you want to learn a trade as an apprentice then you have to pay the company or the person who is teaching you. I went for a haircut the other day, and a young guy was watching the owner cut my hair. I asked him how much he pays the apprentice, he looked at me strangely and said what do you mean he pays me for teaching him.
