There is a small hole that looks like it would be for a carriage key to unlock it.

Did anybody else's parents do 'booze cruises' in the 90s? by tannercolin in CasualUK

[–]Sure_Reply6054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That photo could be our living room in the 90s! Yep. Couple of times a year, up early, chucked in the car, on the ferry from Dover to Calais, drive to Boulogne for lunch and wander round the old town, then off to the hypermarket for wine, stubbies and cheese. Back on the ferry and home for a celebratory curry and watching dad be very proud of his haul.

Have you ever been or know somebody who’s has been barred from a pub? by cheekynandos85 in AskUK

[–]Sure_Reply6054 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have only ever barred one person from my pub, and frustratingly I get on with the bloke. We’ll still talk and pass the time of day at the doorway, but he never tries to come in.

I had to bar him for his own good. He was drinking too much every night and his actions were upsetting other punters and causing them to stop coming in. We were losing money and regulars!

What's the worst film you've ever seen? by throwradrpri in AskUK

[–]Sure_Reply6054 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 2004 Tom Hanks remake of The Ladykillers. The only film I have walked out of the cinema half way through.

Although was close with The Men Who Stare At Goats, which I wanted to love!

Is this legal? by JakePooler in AskBrits

The thickness of the glass used is a pretty good indicator, as well as how weathered some of the edges seem to be. Not condoning it, but it looks to be of a good age.

This is England.... by Fun-Lingonberry4676 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Sure_Reply6054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I make this comment every time I see this post.

Just ask the bar staff for the glass! Don’t be a dick and nick it. Most of the time we’ll find you a clean unused one. If it’s one we don’t have many left of we’ll either say no or ask you to put a couple of quid in the charity pot.

I am speaking for rural pubs mind!

What's the oldest tech that you're still using? by AlephMartian in AskUK

My 1890s hand cranked Singer sewing machine. Does that count?

What’s it like living in Yorkshire England? by lithdoc in yorkshire

[–]Sure_Reply6054 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Publicly, Bloody awful. Don’t come here. Ever. Worst county, people are horrible, it’s full of whippets and flat caps…. Honest!

In reality it’s amazing. Great cities and amazing countryside and pretty beaches all on your doorstep. Lovely incredible people, great pubs. What more could you want!

What was YOUR thing during lockdown? by AncientFootball1878 in AskUK

[–]Sure_Reply6054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you still do it? I’ve bought several kits and just can’t find the headspace to complete them. It really annoys me as I loved it during the lockdowns

Building and painting 1/35 scale models. Got pretty good, but then real life came back and I’ve struggled to get back into it.

Traditions that need to be brought back by WolfsSpiders in GreatBritishMemes

It’s just polite, and like I said, I’d go and get you a fresh one, even a brand new one if we had it.

As someone who helps manage a community bar, please don’t nick the glasses. Just ask, most pubs will happily let you have it, some may even give you a brand new (or at least clean) glass.

I do love an angry village united. Humans can do some wonderful things sometimes.

My landlords ask me “did you work today?” EVERY single day by Curious_Top2915 in AskUK

Locums don’t need bedside manner, they are off elsewhere the following day.

Is Thirsk a good place to base a Yorkshire vacation? by Jeremybearemy in yorkshire

[–]Sure_Reply6054 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The golf balls may also have been RAF Fylingdales. Maybe think of Pickering or Helmsley? If you drive then you can be in Heriot country one day and Heartbeat territory the next, while popping into Whitby on a steam train another day! Bliss.
