Walnut Tree Farm and the Lake
i,m happy to go on record and say Cardiff is the best city in the UK no contest
How exactly would you water down lager? It comes in a sealed aluminium barrel, and is served through a CO2 pressurized tap. You'd have to pour a couple of inches of water into every pint you served. Unless someone knows better.
I'd be really interested to know if anyone does.
Put about an inch of water in a glass, place glass under the counter till a mug comes in
This. Brighton is a close second.
You are taking the piss, I hope !!!!!
Cheating pint swiggers, other than cider wallahs, has become ubiquitous for yonks because it's ultra rare these days to happen upon a grog shop which has oversize lined glasses and a typical pint is 95%-97% liquid and 3%-5% froth. Most punters are too docile or shy to say "fill it up" and the real cull dunts are sometimes heard to remark "good head on that" when the bigger it is means the more they've been conned.
We have been to both Cardiff and Bristol City center recently ( in the last 3 months anyway ), both are seriously blighted by the homeless walking around, then as soon as darkness arrives you get a real sense of unease, some of the homeless are quite confrontational
How the hell did society get so bad that we have a fair number of people sleeping in doorways and tents on our high streetshould never be happening
A Lake isn’t an aquarium.
Farm isn’t a zoo.
nothing gets past you does it
Not entering into the spirit of it, is he/she/whatever
One reason homelessness has shot up is the UK's population today is 9 million more than it was in 2001 (58 million to 67 million) and property prices and rents have rocketed. It seems virtually all those who kip in doorways are addicts or alcoholics and many also have mental health difficulties. Vagrancy and begging remain unlawful in England and Wales but the boys in blue have a habit of looking the other way, probably because they're instructed to rather than for a lack of resources.We have been to both Cardiff and Bristol City center recently ( in the last 3 months anyway ), both are seriously blighted by the homeless walking around, then as soon as darkness arrives you get a real sense of unease, some of the homeless are quite confrontational

In the last 2 weeks homeless people have attempted to set up camp in Heath park, for the first time ever apparently. There plight highlighted by one woman around 30 completely losing it on the pitch and put last week, screaming, shouting, running about in a demonic way scaring plenty of kids who were playing. Her two mates were watching, managed to crash into each other on there bikes on the rd into the car park, it was a depressing site as they could barely get up off the rd. the plod eventually came to move them along, crazy lady still walks around shouting, god knows what she is doing on the streets....We have been to both Cardiff and Bristol City center recently ( in the last 3 months anyway ), both are seriously blighted by the homeless walking around, then as soon as darkness arrives you get a real sense of unease, some of the homeless are quite confrontational

Yes Bristol as renovated and rejuvenated it's old building very well , another fascinating example is the Lanes where they have kept intact the old bowling lanes .
Well I'm not a native, Newport originally, but I've lived in Cardiff for 20 years. I've also had the 'pleasure' of working all over Britain and I would not live anywhere else. It's not perfect, God knows, but it is a great place to live.
Obviously not from Cardiff - he must be a student.
Brighton is a fantastic city.
In London I have noticed a very sharp increase in begging on the underground. It used to be pretty rare, but I see beggars in the carriages on almost every journey now.We have been to both Cardiff and Bristol City center recently ( in the last 3 months anyway ), both are seriously blighted by the homeless walking around, then as soon as darkness arrives you get a real sense of unease, some of the homeless are quite confrontational

I must have missed it then, as I couldn’t see through all the rubbish in the streets
SHITHOLE, as are it’s filthy hotels, it’s second behind Blackpool for filthy hotels
The old Parachute club 👍
You can get a tool that fits in the top of the barrel just like the line coupler. It has a lever on it that when pressed depressurises the barrel as quickly or slowly as you press. You can then unscrew the valve add 8 pints of water and a few it back up again. Reconnect the gas line and it depressurises the barrel. The pub landlords and WMC stewards in the N East do it all the time.
This is fact. The straightest landlord in Washington T&Wear showed me how to do it and offered to get me one of the things when I took over a pub for a short while . The landlord of my local sold about 80 barrels of beer later and cider a week. Imagine the income form 80 gallons of "beer" that didn't exist going into his sky every week? It was about 98 pence a pint for exhibition then. More like 3 50 now.
The reason it was only 8 pints per barrel was because it didn't water the product down enough to be discernable by brewery checks if they spot checked your cellar.
I’m waiting for someone to say ‘He’s highly strung’ 😂can’t beat a good Basil reference
Not quite in the centre centre, but plenty of banging
I was fearing it had lost its charm but thought it was superb. That castle, the arcades, the Hayes cafe. I guess some of the chain stores and cheap shops could make it seem a little drab but it's a thousand times more charming than in the 1980s when I was playing pool in Bogeys, snooker in Kings and eating burgers off plates in Wimpy.
Then again, I live in cultural abyss of Brisbane.
