• I try to avoid confrontation, but ironically the last time I nearly got into a scrap was with a massive bunch of cyclists in the Old Blue Last. They were hammered and one spilt beer on me, when I said in an ever-so-polite way "watch yerself pal", he took issue. Had to escape out of the back door as he massed his drunk cycling troops for a beating. They were clearly up for a barney, didn't understand the concept of pubs being a place of gaiety.
