Thread Name: singaround etiquette
Subject: RE: singaround etiquette
Got to tell you this story. The singaround was friendly and welcoming, the Landlord of the pub was a different matter. He is now an Ex Landlord.
Nick...(entering the pub) 'Can I have a pint of Water please.'
Landlord....'I'm not letting you sit here just drinking water.'
Nick …. 'Well I was going to offer to put some money in the charity box.'
Landlord...(aggressively) 'Well that doesn't put money in our till.'
Nick... 'Fair enough, I don't mind paying for it.'
Landlord...'You can buy bottles of water.'
Nick... 'I would prefer tap water.'
Landlord.... 'I told you...
Nick....'Alright alright, a bottle of water then.'
Landlord.. (Accusingly and with a sneer) You (pointing) do concerts don't you.
Nick...'Yes.'
Landlord 'Do you do them for nothing?'
Nick (getting pissed off) 'Yes I do as it happens.'
Landlord (Taken aback) 'Well...er...We do a lot for charity too.'
Nick...'It f***ing sounds like it.'
Landlord looks like a mongoose viewing a snake but decides he had better back down on the grounds that he is about 5ft 6' and I am 6ft 2' and from South London.
I took my bottle of water joined the singaround, and made it last all night. The singaround moved pub. I can't think why!
