I thought it would be a bit of fun if we had a "confessions" thread - much the same as Simon Mayo on Radio 2.
Your confession can be about anything but it must be true - something to get off your chest! I'll start the ball rolling..................
One afternoon, a few years ago, me and the wife had gone into a pub we had never before been into and ordered a ploughman’s lunch each because we had an appointment to view a property and had about an hour to kill beforehand. After waiting over 40 minutes, I called the staff member over and asked if we would be waiting much longer, as a “ploughman’s lunch” requires no cooking.
She glared at me and spat out the words “D’ya want yer money back?” I was pretty shocked at this and said “No, I’d like the meal we’ve ordered and paid for!” With this, she stormed off behind the bar, bashed open the till and came back to our table where she threw my money down and shouted “Now get out! You’re barred!” I said I’d report her and she just laughed and said “Ha! Who to? I own the place!” We just left but I vowed I would get my revenge one day!
That was about 4 years ago. But as I said, I would get my revenge.
I recently returned to that pub and obviously was not recognised and the same woman still owned it. But before this visit I had popped into my local Bait & Tackle Shop and purchased a bag of maggots. These were then generally tossed and sprinkled secretly around and under tables over the next few minutes. I then drank up quickly and left. I then phoned the local health inspectors anonymously, and reported the sighting of maggots on the floor of the pub. I got her closed down for a week and hopefully a huge fine will follow.
I ask my fellow posters forgiveness, not for getting my revenge on the bitch but for stopping the regulars enjoying their pints for a short while.
