Lemonade Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I used to work night shift, 11.00pm - 7.00am. After a tough shift a few of us would head to the Schooner for a pint at 8am. No biggie, when you're on permanent nightshift thats like your dinnertime. Didn't half meet some characters in there at that time though. Lots of guys selling things out of suitcases.

Spoonie Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 There's a simlar place in Edinburgh called Penny Blacks that used to be for the postmen/women working all night in the sorting offices and then needing a pint to unwind at the end of the shift. Odd shifts do strange things to your body clock and morning no longer feels like morning. It's the bit of your day between work ending and having a meal before going to bed. Just like 5:30 pm is to people who work standard hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Jake I think you should go and protest at this dispicable pub. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 No. there shouldn't be any pubs near schools an i never said there should.At some point or another a kid attending a school will pass a pub. Realistically what's going to happen because there is a boozer near a school? A drunk man might be seen by a child? I know it's their choice but it's the wrong choice. xxAnd actually, castlegate is horrendous, with drunks going about all day. There's plenty of trouble.Castlegate isn't that bad at all. My ex used to live there and it was fairly quiet. In fact the only real trouble and noise was caused by kids who went through a phase of smashing windows with tins of tuna. The Balaclava bar is at the doors of one of the city's largest shopping centers and there is never any trouble there. I really can't see what the issue is here. I know you don't drink anymore but that's not really a reason to be up in arms about some folk having a pint in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 There should be no schools near pubs. Little people are harder to spot and avoid when stumbling around drunk at lunchtime. They're a bloody menace! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 What about Triple Kirks? That's probably the closest pub to a school and it is also the first place in Aberdeen I witnessed someone get punched in the face at lunch time!

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd make getting drunk illegal. A limited amount of booze with a meal and you can buy to drink in your own property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I can only imagine the state of the place if you were in charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Its already illegal for any place to serve a drunk person, and the law is followed to the letter at all times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Banning booze on trains probably won't change anything. Does anyone actually get cunted on the tiny alcohol measures they serve? I imagine most drunkards on trains were already half-cut before they got on the train, or they've got their own hipflask or Lucozade bottle filled with spirits.I'm fine with pubs opening whenever they want, as well as people having a pint whenever they want.I had a pint at 10am when I was on holiday, because I'm a menace to society. Good job I wasn't near a school. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Are they? I thought they were just stopping selling it. Are they going to police it hard? Unless they are checking bags and sniffing everyones bottles, it'll still happen I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Oh yeah, no doubt. It will be good if the ticket inspectors have the right to swipe the booze away. It'd be even better if drunken tossers were booted off trains at the next station and taken STRAIGHT TO JAIL. That might be seen as a bit OTT though, unfortunately.Still. Like with anything, people will probably still smuggle it in blank/juice bottles, like folk do at the cinema or gigs where drink prices are mental.
