When we started this forum and being an optimist, I hoped for great things. But alas, it was not to be. For me the place is like a great pub, you can drop in anytime and chat to some good and interesting friends. Granted many of the regulars have buggered off to a private members only boozer, but every cloud has a silver lining. The more regulars a boozer has, the more the grief!
We have all seen it, so many get three pints of lager down their necks, and they are looking for a punch up. Or one word out of place, and some bruiser orders you outside. None of that malarkey here. In fact, this is such a place of calm and tranquillity, even our bouncers have retired. We are so quiet even the kitchen flogger spammers give us a wide berth. Mercifully the great unwashed keep well away, let’s face it, who needs punters turning up asking ludicrous questions. Old hands know the score. A newbie turns up and asks a question, you know the sort, Googling for an answer is beyond them. The experienced person spends an age typing a reply, and the newbie lacks the courtesy to even say thank you, ignorant buggers.
So, think positive I say, be grateful for small mercies and small country pubs. Jeez, if we had become popular, a big corporate outfit like Wetherspoon’s could have taken us over, just look what happened at Arjun Panesar’s den of iniquity. Granted a lot of money can be made running a rave joint, but Jeez who needs the stress. To conclude, thank you to our regular customers, and during the Yuletide season, the drinks are on me.
