3) Poor bar service. I gave up waiting and went round the back to chat to Mick for 10 minutes or so, before returning for a pint.
4) Lousy regulars - no one appeared to know what a queue was at the bar or at least who was next to be served.
All in all, an unfortunate experiance . Prior to a month ago, I think I was last in there in 1979; I doubt if I shall enter it again in my lifetime.

There, there, that's better .. that is helpful. Not bothered re. the ale meself.
Yes, the bar staff weren't quite as alert as they should be, only one lady there at times, but the lad who served the butties was great.
Find most MEN are rude in a busy pub when it comes to obtaining their ale anyway. Been overlooked many times by the bar staff in favour of someone with a longer arm/louder voice than me.
Decor, didn't bother me .. just looked at it as ambience, not being interested in sport .. as we remarked, would be more of a problem for the owner when he came to redecorate ..
Maybe we could appoint you as our official pub critic Tealeaf .. mmmmm yeh, will start you out in The Bridge, Accy first methinks
