I've done my time in pubs...lots of them...
...one being in Bristol. Many good times were had there, as were, sadly, many embarrassing times.

My car at the time was a Rover 420 GSi. Yeah, I know, crap. Still, it was MY car, I love it and I'd spent a lot of money on it.

It was the height of summer, beer was flowing, banter was flying and spirits were being massages and encouraged by the brilliant atmosphere....until it happened.

A red Toyota Landcruiser sped into the car park (which was clearly visible from the bar) and damn near removed the drivers side from my beloved Rover. No car had been taken to park this Chelsea tractor, and as such my car had very nearly become a victim.

The chap strode in, big fella too, long curly hair, bit pikey looking with his checkered shirt and cotton trousers. His girl-in-tow looked far to good to be with him too, all contributing factors to my rage...

"Excuse me..." Splurts I...

"Would you mind being a bit more careful when you park you're twattingly daft truck? It might not look much, but the car you nearly squashed is mine, and I'm quite fond of it."

He looked sheepishly at me....

"I'm, I'm sorry....I"

He then mumbled his order, a pint a Butcombe and a drink for the lady, and then went and sat outside.

My boss strides over....

"Pollitt, you're a tit."

"What? Why? People driving like that piss me right..."

"That was Robert Plant, you fuckwit. Well done."

Needless to say, I hid in the kitchen until he left. Oh, and if you don't know who Robert Plant is...Google him.

If...
You don't know who Robert Plant is, you're a fuckwit.

So what?
He needed telling.

ABSOLUTELY!
Rock Gods need putting in their place sometimes.

Still. At least he had the good grace to be a bit sheepish.
