    Thanks, but i is in Midlands.
    Any chance you can relocate and help a money saver???

    I have collected most of the glasses in the Midlands and I also live in the (East) Midlands:beer:

    You do as I do when I needed new glasses.

    You ask the Landlord (politely)
    " What do you do when someone accidently dropped the glasses and they break?"
    They will always say that it happens or words to that effect.

    Now here is the tricky part. You tell him that if that is the case then would he mind if you could take a couple of them and he pretended that they broke.

    I have received over 2 dozen glasses that way from several pubs I've frequented.

    I even say that I've got all of them except (what ever brand I want).

    They will like your boldness and give you the glasses.
    This way you don't steal them yet you get them free.

    Don't forget to let me know how you got on.

    that is cheeky. did the pub landlord need to pay anything for those branded glasses?

    i can imagine a lot of pubs up and down the country will be invaded by MSEers arming with the same lines and asking for glasses. :D

    this can be a nice training for confidence :T
