It seemed ok at the time, especially when the alternatives were Watneys Red Barrel or lager. The former only 10p a pint, but few would touch it - a bit like the fag machine, where Player's Number Ten were always the last to run out. Apparently, you had to be really desperate to buy these, though they only worked out at a penny each. My college had a big drama department and one of their favourite activities used to be a lift scene, where you had to act out "who has farted". Maybe the McEwan's started it all! I actually did some bar work in the Pied Bull. It was an early Camera pub of the year. Catered for everyone, including the Krays at one time. The Rat Pit, or public bar, still had saw dust on the floor! One of our regulars was a guy who was on call to fix any overnight traffic light problems. He would prop up the bar all evening until pretty much incapable of standing. We often used to wonder what would happen if he got a call out.
