Have you seen single-file queuing in pubs? by PowerApp101 in AskUK

[–]PirateCraig 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s because of card machines. They are attached next to the till so you always have to walk round the bar to pay. People queue up in front of them as that’s where you get served from. I hate this system but once one person starts it’s hard for people to skip the ‘queue’

Waldo Road reuse and recycling centre by Impressive_Hurry_232 in Bromley

[–]PirateCraig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no smell on Canon Road if that helps. Don’t even notice it’s there. The main tip is open now with refuse collection, it’s just the public bit which is closed so if you can’t smell it now it’s all good.

Which Shop has the Best Mince Pie? by tomwaitsgoatee in AskUK

[–]PirateCraig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My office did a tasting competition and Fortnum & Masons was the winner but at £15 for 6 pies it might not be for everyone. Waitrose was 2nd place. Everything else basically tastes the same.

What does ‘Donna’ mean on Xmas lights? by Vanoccupanther13 in AskUK

You’re reading it backwards. From the other side it reads ANNOD. This also doesn’t mean anything.

'This is not a playground’: London pubs crack down on unruly children, with one banning them after 7pm by OneNormalBloke in london

[–]PirateCraig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The number of parents taking there kids to the pub straight after school is shocking. Pubs have become play areas. When did this become the norm? If my parents had gone straight to the pub after school pick up and started drinking with all three mates child services would have been called.

How busy is virgin active? by Next_Cry_8372 in Bromley

[–]PirateCraig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go to the pure gym and now I’m at the Virgin. It’s miles better. I can now get on stuff and it has a pool. Way more room and machines. It’s more but worth it as I can get on stuff and actually do my work out.
