Well done mate

8pm was always my time

That's when I'd start getting a dry mouth

I wish I could wait until 8pm. I can't seem to get through the day without a drink these days..

Our crappy benefit system which penalises you if you try to make an effort doesn't help. If my savings go over £16,000 my universal credit gets stopped and I have to live off my savings. Then when I have to live off my savings and they drop I have to reclaim and go through the whole application and medical again. I hope Labour do sort the benefits system out as it's a mess at the moment that traps people on benefit and doesn't encourage them to improve themselves.

It is possible for you to be asked to leave if you are not buying anything and taking up space on the premises, but I have never seen this enforced, personally.

I thought it would be the same in the UK, but downunder it is illegal for a publican to not serve water on demand. Fine $10,000. (Yes...they may toss you out immediately afterwards)

I am fairly certain Jamesy was referring to tap water. Pubs don't really give out bottled water for free, typically.

Yeah and also they're not gonna kick out paying customers if they're buying bottles of water

I only have soft drinks when I go to the pub and no one has an issue with that
