This place is like my local pub.
There is a crowd of locals in the corner. Old hacks that know it all, don't like change, don't like young whipper snappers with their flash motors, and have an opinion on everything.
Which is fine. They are what they are. Accept it I guess. You choose to step into the bar, assuming you come back for second vist or more
Wo betide you if you think you can engage in debate though, especially if you are new, or if you are on your own. You had better know your stuff though....
When you step into the bar regularly you begin to realise what lights their fuse.
And others, including Mozzer, who like me have been around for a while, recognise this. We come and go, but we're not necessarily here everyday. I hope you don't mind me referring to you Mozzer......
To newcomers it can be quite tricky. Often ending in a spat with the newcomer storming off.
Occasionally a regular will try to step in but tempers flare.
Sometimes the landlord steps in (read mod) but its a difficult to balance the needs of those who are always in the bar and actually contribute a great deal, against those of the newcomer whose customer loyalty and contribution has yet to be proved.....
I am a regular and have a penchant to step in to support the underdog.
Perhaps it's a matter of time before I get chucked out too.
We just all need to realise that we only came in for a pint.
Chill out
Everyone
