I like pubs too.
I'm trying to imagine the bar staff at the Blythe Hill Tavern refusing someone a glass of water.
Toys hill is a v popular with cyclists so I can see it could become annoying if there is a constant stream of riders clutching 'bidons' and not buying anything.
But really it's a glass of fucking water - I bet he wouldn't refuse some walkers with an overheating dog.
I've gone into the pub in Downe before for a refill and the bar staff were charming. I don't make a habit of it though, I'd normally fill up at the public toilets on Ide hill when I'm out that way but I only went on a short blat today.
