Cider tales - Welcome to Bristol
A Scunthorpe fan walks into a pub near the Ashton Gate and asks the barman for a pint of Magners. The convivial barman replies "sorry we do not serve that in here as our customers prefer a real cider". The Scunthorpe fan mutters something about dopey Wurzels then asks for a pint of Strongbow. The convivial barman replies "sorry we do not serve that in here as our customers prefer a real cider how about Thatchers". The Scunthorpe fan mutters once again something about f*cking Wurzels then decides he will have a pint of Thatchers. As the cider is being poured the Scunthorpe fan asks for ice to be added to the cider. Quick as a flash convivial barman replies "would you like me to jump across the bar, shag you up the arse and ask if you want ice with that"?
Editorial note - Standards must be maintained in BS3 and a appropriate response would have been to remove the Scunthorpe fan from the premises for uttering such filth.
Shurely shome mistake here?
