LFGSS drinks staff as microcosm of London

Hey, so I noticed recently while travelling through my mind that the people who serve us in the pubs we visit seem to sum up the people in the areas of London they're in:

Souths: no nonsense, down home, long suffering, essentially good
Wests: civil, tanned, conservative, always working
Central: efficient, transient, focused, anonymous
Easts: young, distracted, sniffy, uptight


I just wondered whether Norths seems to follow this pattern and what you fantastic drinkers thought about this drivel?

Can we therefore extrapolate these characteristics onto the frequenters/locals of said bars?

not necessarily. Pubs are very much "come one, come ye all" kinds of places here in Great Britain Horatio

Wests used to have a wonderfully rude barperson at the old venue.... a right moody git sometimes!
I bumped into him at Chiswick house and found out he has left awaiting compensation for unfair dismissal and plans to set up a studio and pursue his photography career. Spent 7 years working in that pub he did. his name is Zenon, sounds good for a "fotopap".
We had a lovely chat and I met some of his cute Polish friends and they invited me to their houseboat on the Thames.. :-)

I should probably have dropped the frequenters, as that wouldn't make sense. Locals still stands though! I think you're attacking the locals of East London with these slanderous comments.

Come One Come All? Blimey, tell that to the punters of the Slaughtered Lamb type pub I went into last night. I think the sterotypes are all summed up in the tags under each Drinks location. The Westie ones starting with "My Other Bike's a Prius" etc.

I am not sure if the bar staf in the Flask represent the whole of north london. They represent Highgate quite well. Mostly good looking from well bred (rich) familys working in and aroung uni or untill they can get that job in the city. This sounds as if I am being bitchy about them. Im not, they are all nice.

btw the guy with the tosh ain't included - he's alright and wants to go fixed.

Recent experience..
Souths: I am in love with the waitress... with the fantastic tattoo on her left boob and the cute arse
Wests: The fat dog that just want attention... but the staff are not a very talkative bunch
Central: the lady at the lamb told me half her life story and how her interview went wrong so I would give her a tip?
Easts: not sure... only been there once so go with young, distracted, sniffy, uptight
North... 2 fit bird pulling me a pint... I was too busy dribbling to notice anything

I preferred the old pub for Wests.
Souths has the best staff.
Central is 'whatever'
as for the others... "Here be dragons!" ;)

You're at the back of a queue that Apple would be jealous of.

Fair play, knowing what my spelling is like it would have taken you all night for that short paragraph.

That more or less sums me up, thanks!

I think the views of south drinks are somewhat skewed by amelie. Lets see what people think of it after she leaves!

There's an equally hot french girl on my course called lolita. I think she lives south. Maybe I should persuade her to come work in the coach and horses?
