I used to work in a real ale pub about 20 years ago. Camra twats would come in and try and get me to tip them off about beers about to come on so they could come in to tick them off in their little books. They'd stand there at the bar, drink a half, then head off. No chatting to anyone, strictly business.
There is/was a guy in Birmingham called Mick “The Tick” Baker whose trick was to buy half pints and tip them into Panda Pop bottles to drink at home so he could tick off more than his rivals.
I think I can top that:
We had a semi-regular who would bring these tiny little vials that he would pour a bit of particularly good beers in to. He would then take them home to add to his COLLECTION OF TINY BEER.
