2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps please

Whatever happened to the pub? the place where the greasy haired landlord stood behind one end of the bar and his big haired blonde wife, with too much make-up on, stood at the other end showing off a bit of over-tanned cleave, both with big welcoming smiles.
Salted crisps and peanuts in little bowls to make your mouth just that little bit dryer to boost bar sales, table top space invaders, a classic pub quiz, piano in the corner for those impromptu sing-a-longs and darts...the good ol' days, halcyon days if you like.

Now it's all massive TV screens, loud SHIT music, organic beer, energy drinks and miserable bar tenders and waitresses in sports and gastrobars judging you by the size of tips you leave after each drink, fuck off !  It shouldn't be like that.
Pubs are not supposed to sell food either, just snacks to soak up the beer, go to a restaurant if you want to eat L'escargot and salads, get out of my pub!

Anyway, onto the music...
