There's nothing like a good rant on a Monday morning, so I thought I'd get going with that. There's nothing like finishing off the week with a couple of pints at your local on a Friday afternoon, but sadly this simple pleasure has been soured by the management of our regular pub who have taken to sticking little 'Reserved from 6pm' signs on the table... while you are sitting at it! They don't say a word, they just saunter up and stick the little sign on, usually about 15 minutes before the time of alleged reservation and then wander off. I don't know anyone else, but in my book that is just damn rude.Fortunately, some quick thinking on the part of my colleague, James who has experienced this treatment before saved the day. After seeing the reserved signs going up at other tables, he quickly launched a pre-emptive strike and dashed off to reserve our table, we got our own little 'Reserved until 8ish' sign and everything! But honestly, having to reserve the table that you are sitting at so that it doesn't get giving away by some blackshirted fascist pub manager who suffers badly from a lack of good old fashoined GDFD, I despair!
