I need a new sink

Nah, the only bar with "witty intelligent conversation" is the Gardeners Rest, which as yet is not open & if you met the barmaid you wouldn't dare ask her such an impertanent quedtion

Just found out the meaning of sink estate, what a derogatory term !

Why am I not surprised by that ^^, is it perchance a place where the relatives of criminals (&/or even the criminals themselves) live ??

I'm sure you're right, Skeggi
I like making up stories about people too, and why they do the things they do. Its far more interesting than the truth, which is usually quite unremarkable and mundane.
Maybe Janieb is a mystery shopper or a reporter for the local rag or checking that the pub adheres to last orders and chucking out time.
Who knows?

Ha Haaa, so now you recognise the need for regular & frequent washing-up of the dishes & suchlike

Whenever SWMBO asks me what I think someone does, etc., I try to come up with the most fantastic, in-depth back story for them - to the extent that she doesn't ask me anything anymore other than if I'd like a cup of tea.

When I say 'I' need a new sink, I mean.....well you know

I seem to think there was a recent metion of a "lock in"

[skeggijon]

Lock ins don't have the same excitement about them now since the licencing laws changed :/

I understand exactly what you mean JanieB. It is intriguing but I have to admit that I have been backwards in coming forwards. I have found that on the few occasions I have asked it has usually involved a long complex story that usually makes me feel that I should not have asked.

I did ask one very smart barmaid (after I bought her a drink) why she was working in my then local. She said the main thing was that she didn't have to pay for her own drinks! Well put I thought.

P.S. there would appear to be a biggish sink estate in St Albans. Who would have thought that! But they are filling in the hole now.

I dont drink in pubs no more, unless I go in for coke

[bearded bloke]

Jon, you need to go to a Burlesque Boozer bud, that & a bit of "wacky baccy" & apparently the world takes on a whole new meaning or so I've been told
