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!
