When purchasing a round of drinks, establishments generally aren’t fond of digital payments and are usually short on change as most prices end in a 9.

What’s really appreciated is if you bring a coin purse, and count out each total in change (denominations up to and including 50p - pound coins in extremis) on the bar so the staff don’t have to provide you with change.

For additional kudos, do this on a Friday or Saturday night when the bar is four deep. The patrons will appreciate your effort and respect for the public house financial system, and often chant words of wisdom at you, rendering you a local hero.

First remember pubs do not exist. They are entirely fictional. They were created to confuse potential invaders during the 2nd World War.

Basically pubs are public toilets containing the most dangerous people in the UK. Improv actors. Designed to confuse the shit out of foreign agents.

The bar staff love it when you tell them to smile.

There’s a sort of jokey tradition in UK pubs that when the bar is busy and you go up to order your drinks you should always shout “I was here first, you wanker!” at the barman / barmaid as they serve each person before you. It’s just one of those funny traditions that kills every time.

this is sweet
