Once, before this pub was gentrified and infested with haircuts that pose as human beings, I witnessed a chap grab a fellow drinker's Man U scarf and carefully wipe his dog's bottom with it.
Happy days.
The place is a travesty now, you couldn't chuck a brick without hiting a middle-class trendy who's showing their parents up from Devon the chirpy cockernee coster-mongers on Columbia Road. They make me sick, and pull your jeans up, cretins.

Yeah, the cops raided Lincolns undercover. They were offered porn DVDs and crack cocaine. A regular actually volunteered to the cop the fact that the charlie dealer will be in later! This toilet of a pub is dragging Leytonstone downhill fast, the bods hanging around outside make remarks to women and smoke grass openly- it's intimidatory and anti-social. The pub's still open, they have three weeks til appeal.

Bill's a grumpy bugger, I'd been going in here for 9 years before he ventured into conversation! This is a quality pub, really friendly (Bill excepted) and with a foxy Natascha McElhone- lookalike barmaid. The cop station next door is squatted now, you hear Italian Trance coming out of the upstrairs windows!

The Old Thameside Inn, London Bridge
Me and m'colleagues visited this dump on Friday for the France-Italy match. the barman had pinned a note up saying they were showing the cricket, when we asked if we could watch the football they said "No" very brusquely, and when we asked why the chap said "I don't care!". OK, their pub, their rules, trade was disappearing out the door as people realised, then when a mate asked for a top-up of his pint, served well below the line, the barmaid said "Have you drunk some?". Nice, get accused of theft just for asking to get what you're are paying for! Legendarily rude bar staff in a pub that has very few regulars and relies on tourists who they know won't return so they treat them like dog turds. the place is heaving with bar flies too, there's a chorus of slapping as people swat at them. A dirty, obnoxious boozer that needs a reality check.

Belle Vue, Norwich
This place could be a goldmine. Instead the landlord seems content to allow a clique to gather at the same place every night, on the corner of the bar by the fruit machines, blocking everyone's way and swearing at the top of their voices. It's one of those places where the bar staff socialise with the gang of foul-mouthed regulars and ignore anyone else. The horrible atmosphere fostered by these chav scum drag the whole place down, a convivial atmosphere isn't aided by gangs of builders shouting swear words at each other as the bar staff titter and simper.
