May we first apologise for the ignorance of bar stewards in the UK. However I have to say in defence of the rest of us Brits that it should come as no surprise to find that a man in red cloths and glasses and a red cowboy hat (well goucho actually but I quibble) can wait for 10/15 minutes (at least) while regulars get served and no amount of waving of a red tankard has any effect. And any comments said with a broad grin like "You know I shall have to do something to get meself noticed" falls on deaf ears - And I only go to pubs that have folk clubs by and large.

How many bar stewards does it take to change a light bulb? I'll tell you in just a minute - Oh hi Fred - the usual?

Thanks for the swan-upmanship - I knew there was a story and it involved non-royal personages.
