slimsid2000   10 #49 Posted December 31, 2009 You are a card with your festive trolling Sid!! You are right of course, the real ale circuit is well known for its multi culturalism...  As long as you smoke a pipe and wear an Arron sweater you are welcome whatever your colour.

ChrisS6 Â Â 10 #52 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) 15 people is too large a group to take to a small pub like the Fat Cat. I suspect the OP is being economical with the proverbial regarding the way they were behaving. Â I'm not accusing them of being yobs or anything, but a large group tends to feed off its own "enthusiasm" even when all the individuals are reasonable people when in a small group. Â Such a group can easily seem to "take over" a place and quickly get annoying to people who feel that the newcomers are not respecting the character of the pub. Â I'm not a regular of the Fat Cat (I mean that I don't go often enough to be recognised by the staff) but I have always had a nice welcome and been served by pleasant, polite, friendly staff. Â The snide comments by others taking the opportunity to take a dig at the pub because it is not to their taste ("all pubs should be like pub x") are just ridiculously over the top. Only someone who does not like real beer would criticise the beer at the Fat Cat, and only someone with an axe to grind (or a troll) or who wants all pubs to be like West Street's "Veracity" (as they probably pronounce it) would claim that the Fat Cat should be more sparkly and new.

locket   10 #53 Posted January 17, 2010 the op forgot to add that they were singing etc downstairs before they went upstairs. people complained & 6 people walked out & they were regulars. then they went upstairs after complaints to the bar staff about them. there were still compliants about the noise & behaviour. when the barman went upstairs to ask them to keep it down he was met with an attitude then the f*** **f came. the fat cat does need at little tlc but i find it a great little gem of a pub.

It was the 3rd pub of the night, and the singing only started upstairs when someone who was already there got the guitar out.  The only one to swear was the barman.  I get the impression someone told you to make that story up, no guesses who.
