Was at the game today in the north lower day in the red hot sun.
Chatting to the bloke next to me, in the concourse they were charging £4 for a small bottle of water, the robbing fuckers.

Ouch!!... I purchased a Pepsi from the concourse today (£2.70) yet looked to see how much water was on the board in case I needed an extra drink

That said £2 so thats disgusting if they were overcharging to benefit from what was going to be extra demand!!

 Bottled water was £2 in the west.

It's been £2 last 3 times I've been.

Politicians unable to answer the most basic question with a yes or no answer, I’ve stopped watching Question Time etc, because there’s no point.

Only the most basic questions ever being asked, that's why I've stopped watching Question Time.

I think Lord Snooty of the Tory party is on to something when he talks about dropping the comma after the word and, and several phrases which are not to be used any more.

An electric cattle prod up the rusty bullet hole from me for those who continue to use the following phrases:

My bad

Hollybobs

Back in the day

I don't want to sound racist/homophobic/mysogynistic, but.....

Listen, I'm being truthful now.. (You're not the rest of time then).

Feel free to add.

anytime soon

Soon as you get back from your hollybobs.

Fri-yay

Watching the Ashes when they've all but blown away.

Never has humble pie tasted so sweet.  WELL DONE BEN STOKES!!!

Queing up in a packed Bartrams (Brentford game) and the clown
in front orders a pint of Fosters then plays by credit card, giving 
the bar staff problems because the fu--ng machine is not working
correctly. I can understand a round of 4 or more paid by card, but
one drink come on mate!

Or he gives a £20 note and the bar staff are faffing around for change.

I don't carry cash, wasn't me btw. But many don't now, it's so antiquated.

Having to have cash on me is an annoyance.

Same here mate. The only downside for me is that I don’t have a few hundred quid in my change pot at the end of the year anymore.

Not to mention finding a cash machine in Charlton or queuing for it before a game is a bloody hassle too

One next to the Barbers at the station, One outside Sainsbury's local and one outside the club shop, these are the only local three I know of...

100% agree, even those who have run up a large tab seem to "forget" to tip when they pay with a card...

 If the EFT Machine asks, I'll often click yes and chuck on 10% at restaurants, not sure I've ever done that in a bar, but they're a bit different. I don't tend to stay in them for more than a couple of drinks and usually pay for each one, or my whole round at a time.

Tip? In a bar? Not in this country, I understand the custom on the continent where a waiter serves you but a bar where you are paying top dollar for average drinks never.

Increasingly hear the expression, The Island of Ireland.

We all know Ireland is an island, the reunification of Ireland will suffice, there is no need for the additional information.

Also some bars have a tips glass on the bar.

They do. I had this in mind when I wrote my previous post. I the pub that we use at work they have a glass for tips. Its in the British Museum area so I think the tourist will contribute. This pub sells some of the worst kept beer in England but I suppose they can get away with it with a non ale drinker. The tip they will ever get for me isn't money but advice on beer quality. I always try before I buy nowadays.
