🤣🍻 THINGS YOU ONLY UNDERSTAND IF YOU RUN A PUB… THE 147 EDITION! 🍻🤣
People think running a pub is all about pulling pints, having a laugh, listening to music and chatting with the locals…
OH, IF ONLY YOU KNEW! 😂😂
Here’s a little insight into life behind the scenes at The 147… because some days you genuinely couldn’t make it up! 🫣
🤣 THE GREAT PUB ROBBERIES
Honestly, if it’s not screwed down, it’s apparently fair game! Glasses, toilet rolls, decorations… you name it, it’s probably walked out of our doors! We’re just waiting for someone to try taking a table home! 😂
🍺 THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT
Of course you are, sweetheart… even when you’re absolutely, categorically, 100% WRONG! But we’ll still smile and pour your pint! 🤣
🚽 THE TOILETS
We don’t even know where to begin! Some of the things we’ve witnessed should come with a health warning! We’re running a pub, not a crime scene investigation! WHAT DO YOU LOT DO IN THERE?! 🤢😂
🏠 THE LAST ONES STANDING
Music’s off. Lights are on. Staff have got their coats on. We’re practically stood at the door with our car keys…
“Just one more, love!”
NO, KEVIN, IT’S TIME TO GO HOME! 🤣🤣
🗣️ THE PUB GOSSIP
We know who’s fallen out with who, who’s seeing who, who’s not speaking to who and who’s apparently getting divorced for the third time this month!
Honestly, we know more than the local Facebook gossip pages! 👀😂
🛋️ THE FREE THERAPY SESSIONS
We’re not just bar staff. We’re counsellors, marriage advisers, relationship experts, referees and emotional support workers!
All while trying to remember who ordered the Guinness! 🤦♀️🍺
🏦 THE BANK OF THE 147
“Can I pay you a week on Monday?”
“Can you lend me a fiver?”
“I’ll bring the money tomorrow!”
Love, we’re THE 147, NOT BARCLAYS! 🤣💸
🤦♀️ THE COMPLAINTS
Music’s too loud. Music’s too quiet. It’s too warm. It’s freezing. The football’s on the wrong telly. Someone’s sat in THEIR seat…
And don’t even get us started on the price of a pint! 😂
🎤 THE ENTERTAINMENT
One minute we’re running a lovely, respectable pub… the next we’re watching someone who’s had three too many convince themselves they’re the next Freddie Mercury on karaoke! 🎶🤣
🧹 AND THE JOB DESCRIPTION?
Landlord, cleaner, plumber, electrician, bouncer, chef, therapist, DJ, accountant, entertainer, babysitter for fully grown adults…
AND APPARENTLY, BLOODY MIRACLE WORKERS! 😂
❤️ BUT HERE’S THE TRUTH…
Behind all the chaos, the long hours, the sleepless nights, the missing glasses and the occasional headache…
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR PUB AND THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT WHAT IT IS! ❤️
The 147 wouldn’t be The 147 without our regulars, our characters, the laughter, the stories and yes… even the ones who drive us round the bend! 🤣
You’re not just customers. You’re part of our little pub family.
Would we change it? NEVER!
Well… maybe ask us again on a Sunday night after a busy weekend! 😂🍻
Lots of love,
The slightly stressed, occasionally traumatised but always smiling team at The 147! ❤️🤣
P.S. PLEASE LEAVE THE TOILET ROLL WHERE YOU FOUND IT! 🧻😂
🫣 DISCLAIMER: This is all light-hearted pub banter! We love you all really… even the awkward ones! 😘
