Totally off topic, but we might have some fun:

What is the legislation that requires a pub to dispose of bar towels/mats (ie 'corporate towelling') in favour of plastic/metal drip trays?

Plastic and metal drip trays / towels last longer and are much easier to clean. With 90% of all plastic products made in China it's got to be a money saver hasn't it?

Theres some new ones on the market with a rubber anti slip bottom and a sponge top where it soaks up the beer, all you need to do is wash them in warm water and they are clean. They cost half the price of a beer towel and last forever if you use them right.

and no ploughman ever caught a bug from his lunch, when he WAS a ploughman....


We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are, still here we are
We got daddy’s belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside, playin’ outside Chorus
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right, we turned out all right

You forgot about making go karts then finding the biggest hill and racing down it with no brakes, drinking water out of the local spring, eating real chips covered in real fat we didn't get fat because we worked it off.

Ah the joys, the best one was rubbing a cut knee with a dock leaf, it soon took the sting away.

anyways, 20 a side footie, on the main road, smoking cinnamon sticks, staying out till it "got dark" (great in summer), rubbing butter on the tar your hands were covered in, getting a clip round the ear for swearing in front of an adult, did it do me any harm? course not, look where it got me :lol:

so we are agreed then, the country has gone to the dogs and HMG+EU+PC+HR are only aiding the slide?

kids cant play british bulldog, parents cant film xmas plays (if any christian celebration is allowed) or sports days (if competetive games arent banned)..........
