What's happened in your local then?

Last Orders....I was out drinking with a friend of mine in america. We decided to go to a bar in town that was supposed to be a yorkshire/irish pub. We just ordered our second round when the bell rang. Strange thought we, we had been in bars over here before and never heard the bell before, so we presumed that the owner had bought the tradition from blighty. So we did what any Englishman would do upon hearing the bell, We ordered another round. 5 minutes later we heard the bell again. That was quick we thought. Then another 5 minutes and another bell. Both of us are completely confused. Turns out they ring bell for a tip. After that the barman made a comment every time he rang the bell telling us not to worry.
On a plus the barmaid forgot to charge me for the last round of drinks, so that was a bonus.
On the subject of free beer I'll throw this one in as a bonus.
One night after work a few of us went for drinks in a cocktail bar. this bar did table service. It was my round so I called up the bar tender. We put our order in and the guy came back with our drinks. At this point I felt a bit peckish so I asked for some nuts. The barman went off and once again returned with my requested items. Since the goods had been delivered I decided to enquiry the cost of the goods as well as the service. I was promptly told that is was complimentary. Result! We presume the nuts were the complimentary part and he just forgot about the round of drinks. Saved me 20 quid so I wasn't going to complain, after all I did try to pay for it.

the third round mythDid you realise that the majority of bars, in big cities, in the states give you a complimentary third round?

I did not know thatI will have to try that next time. This wasn't in a big city, I'm pretty sure the girl either presumed we had a tab or she was forgetful. Or she was stunned by our accents and beauty she clean forgot about payment. More likely she was busy and forgot.
