    I forgot to add the pubs I went to most of the people were well tanked up on arrival. I went to some for when they opened and by the time I left the bar was full of people. That was at 11:30 in the morning. :(

    At some of the pubs I struggled to take pictures of the bar due to there being a drunk at each seat (that was by mid afternoon) :( . The POS was on the bar, so I needed that picture.

    However, a large majority were okay, but it was about 10% that made me think this is not for me. Especially after being swore at again.
  • I can't believe they refused freebies 3010, never mind abusively. Shame you could not just have sent them out to us :D

    Hope you manage to stick the job out, it took you so long to get it and you were so pleased when you managed it, keep trying for a while please xx
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Aww. I am a sucker for street dogs. Not been on holidays for years, but take me abroad and I spend half my hols feeding the stray animals. :o



    I've never understood people who don't pay their share/ buy their rounds.
    I'm not rich but would feel so embarrased not to pay my way.
    I remember meeting up with some friends on holiday many years ago and when we went out for a meal we split the bill for food four ways between us. I am veggie so mine was by far the cheapest but I still paid a quarter.
    The next day one of my friends told me that one of the others hadn't paid her share ONCE in the whole week. It was only when I arrived and started putting in my share that she also started to cough up.
    Are these people just blatant blaggers or are they used to being "kept"? :eek:

    Whenever I see my kids, non of them ever take their wallets!!!

    I'd have loved to, but I was told to get rid of them into the larger pubs that wanted them. I'd have happily recycled the glasses, but they were a bit too heavy. :D

    I'm still yet to see the loveliness of it :p
    Some lovely parts round about yes, but Inverness its self? I'm not a fan!

    Can you tell?! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Has my favourite airport in the world :beer: :j Mega cheap flights from the mountainless south, quick hop on a very spectacular bus ride west, and then totally spoiled for choice in terms of amazingly beautiful terrain in evey direction.

    Dinner tonight is expensive steak. _pale_

    Mr TS was let loose at the butchers yesterday morning. £20 for few rashers of bacon, black pudding. bacon bits for pasta and a steak. :eek: Yes only one steak he says it's enough for us both. :cool:

    He then went into the fishmongers next door and got frozen dressed crab and white crab meat half price. Think what he paid for that is a good price, only usually have crab sandwiches as a treat when pop in the tearooms at to Corfe Castle when we walk from the manor.

    I hope he doesn't make a habit of it. I do like to support the butcher and we usually get our meat there for special occasions and Christmas but it just seems a bit OTT to me. :o

    Although the bacon is lovely no water comes out of it and doesn't hardly shrink. :cool:

    I'm the opposite, whenever I see my parents I always pay for them as I figure they spent enough on me when I was a youngster! :o
