The Manager (The Proclaimer) has perfected the art of scowling at the punters to perfection. None of the bar staff smile but maybe they're sick of The Proclaimer scowling at them too. You have to go upstairs to the toilet which can cause a few problems. Also there's a weird gingerbread smell going up the stairs.......?

It's boiling hot in The Oak (the temperature is probably controlled by the Landlord as an incentive for any females to remove some of their clothes)and very smoky. There's a competition that runs every evening, all evening, oh and lunchtime's which is: see if you can attract one of the bar staff's attention and get served. If the Guvnor is serving behind the bar and you are female, you will win. If you are male be prepared for an engaging scowl and possibly a yawn whilst being completely ignored by the female bar staff.

The Manager's name is Richard, Ronnie is the (female) owner you dork. Having said that, Richard is known locally as tightpants due to his, well, tightpants. He used to be The Proclaimers's (Will the Manager of Bar Boring, sorry Bar Malden) right hand man. Anyway, that's enough bitching: Ronnie's is also known as Bar Empty as it often is. Just got to let you all into a very big secret: Juliana's (the cook) home made red hot chilli sauce is not home made, she buy's it from a shop in Brixton (alledgedly).
Anyway, I like the place - alot. You can always get a seat - important. And watching Tightpants flap around provides the free entertainment.

The Fountain, New Malden
Punter:'Hi can I have a bottle of house white and 2 glasses please'
Bar Staff; Yes, sure, that'll be �(however much)
Punter takes a seat with her friend and their bottle of wine which they pour into their glasses and take a sip. Bar Staff walks over:
'Are you over 21?'
Punter 'No, I'm 19'
Bar Staff: Sorry, over 21's only' and removes bottle and glasses and doesn't refund the money.
Fair enough, you're thinking but the Bar Staff was 18. Now that's annoying.
