    Signs of a bad pub

    Which local QPR pubs could this apply to?

    There is a thread on the England Fans site which made me laugh describing what makes a bad pub and here are a few of the suggestions but I am sure we could add some more?

    One's with betting shops attached to them.

    Snarling Alsation chained up on a flat roof

    Damp foisty smell, plastic glasses, cans only, sticky carpet or lino

    A back room with a cage and a back door from that back room that is 100 yards from the local red light zone

    When the 1st words from the barmaid/man are 'What?

    Luminous sign's outside 'Carling Larger £1.50 a pint'

    Fat landlord

    Lights turned off in half of pub making you all sit in one area

    Pubs that serve free food if you drink there for a certain amount of time (mainly in Australia)

    'blue pill' machines in toilet

    Meat raffle

    Lottery bonus ball competition

    Gas fire

    Kids in the pub (especially landlords kids)

    Mute tv showing eastenders

    Tv showing the Racing channel all day

    Anywhere busy at 11am

    without sky tv for the football and other sports

    Nobody behind the car until some woman you assumed was a punter sat on a stool comes over and asks what you want.

    She'd be generally in her fifties, wearing tight jeans , turned up mid calf, a low cut top on, sleeveless, faded eighties tatoo, showing small tít cleavage. Smoking.

        Illuminated sign outside stating "Free blowys for all, provided by our former Miss Norway barmaid".

              Not at all mate as I love those kind of pubs but sadly most pubs think we want crome and palm trees around us when we drink an over priced imported beer with our wild boar sausages and mash made from fresh Lincolnshire potatoes

              Hammersmith a few years ago had great pubs like the Swan,Hop Poles,Hampshire Hog and the Builders Arms but all of them are now poncey and lost their soul

                  Cannot disagree that a nice decor and pretty bar staff makes for a nice environment to have a beer but so many pubs have lost the actual felling of popping out for a pint with mates and once thats lost its very difficult for a pub to revert back

                    I blew a lot on vodka and tonic, gambling and fags. Looking back, I think I overdid it on the tonic. - The one and only Stanley Bowles

                      men with tattoo'd teardrops on their faces

                      Come to think of it I generally don't like pubs. Only for matchdays or if it's a big night out and needs a warm up and a good hard perve at the young fake baked b*tches.

                        nothing worse than a poor pint as well, warm beer glasses from the dishwasher and loud TV's regardless if the football is on unless its Rangers off course and the pub is packed

                            A queue of twitching angry looking blokes waiting for cubicles (clearly not everyone is having a pooh)

                            Someone's laid a monster cable and left it in there when you eventually get in the cubicle

                              I went in my local about a month ago and they were having a gypsy wake in there. Good god. Im not the best behaved individual in the world but this lot were a different league.
