On the basic subject of the strip above, every Monday morning when it's bin day here and I walk to the pool I look at all the rubbish out waiting for collection and from that I can deduce a heck of a lot about the people who dwell within. I can certainly tell those that like a tipple and eat a lot of unhealthy stuff as our recycling bags are translucent pink and our glass recycling is in boxes just like in the strip above...
The amount of empty beer and wine bottles some houses chuck out on a weekly basis has to be seen to be believed...
I have very little glass to chuck out as most of my jars I keep for jam and marmalade production... The odd glass item I do chuck normally ends up in next door's recycling box...

Occasionally, as in every pub, the landlord at the Pickled Egg has to deal with difficult situations and customers like the other day when a man walked into the Pickled egg dressed as a set of Jump Leads.
Straight away the landlord was a little alarmed and politely said...
"I'm sorry sir, I can't serve you wearing an outfit like that, the Pickled Egg has a strict dress code I'm afraid.
The customer pleaded his case "I'm only having a quick pint before I go to a Fancy Dress Party"
After a few seconds reflection the Landlord of the Pickled Egg decided to give the customer the benefit of the doubt and pulls the customer a pint of his finest ale.
The Pickled Egg is a very friendly pub so horses called Derek are always welcome!
I dont know if you heard but the other day a barman of ours got a bit of a surprise.
His wife came into the PE in an excited state barely able to contain her joy.
"Darling pack all your things I've just won the lottery!!!". "Yippee!!" says our Barman, "Should I pack for tropical weather or for Alpine skiing?"
"Whatever," she says "Just as long as you're out of the house by noon.”
Reminds me of a story from a pub known for its high prices. One day a gorilla wandered in and asked for a pint of bitter. The barman poured the pint, passed it across, saying "That will be £4.50 please". The gorilla looked a bit surprised, but paid for his drink. The barman, as he gave the gorilla his change, said "We don't get many gorillas in here", to which he got the answer "At these prices I am not bloody surprised!".

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?
Out amongst the stars, looking for a world of my own!
The Pickled Egg has decided to put out and advert for its themed night on the quietest night of the week. Its creatively named as "Pub Club" and hopes to get the punters flooding in!
