Risky business back then.

You had put a pint down and turned your back for a second then it was gone.

Even minesweepers were sweeping minesweepers!!

No honour amongst minesweepers.

It got to epidemic levels at one point back in the early 90's.

Pissed of with this mallarky one night, I took an empty pint glass to the toilets and filled it with piss.

Returned to the bar where I left it then casually pinballed to a safe distance to observe.

Almost immediately a giant of a beer monster appeared from nowhere and sunk the lot in one and wondered off in search of more bounty without a second thought!

Priceless!
I remember grabbing a half full bottle of Red Square and there was a cigarette in it. Not sure I finished it but I was 16.
