The Goose, Walthamstow

Went in here yesterday to watch the Aresnal v Liverpool game.
Whilst waiting to get served this idiotic regular kept running behind the bar, much to the annoyance of the barstaff. When he wasn't doing that, he was shouting loudly about not getting served and hauling himself up on to the bar.
Now, the place was fairly busy and there didn't seem to be any bouncers but the barman's attitude to this bloke was pathetic. Half-hearted attempts to pacify him didn't seem to work so they just served him before everyone else. Any reasonable publican would've booted him out or at least got a couple of burly regulars to give him a good hiding, but not here. It was like watching a stressed-out mother give in to her obese child's demands for more crisps.
So sad I had to walk out!
