Greene King boozers are doing a promo on their own IPA to celebrate the Jubilee. Code word is 1952 and you'll get a pint for 6p. 6p!

UNLESS YOU LIVE IN FUCKING SCOTLAND...

Well disappointed.

Tell them you're Samuel Smith for your first pint, John Smith for your second. Probably Ian Desperado for the third.

Knew it would be too good to be true. Handy if there were a few of them local. Although couldn't you go in and buy a round and then send the next person etc?

That'll be Sturgeon and her minimum alcohol pricing policy, quite deliberately stopping us from toasting our beloved British queen and undermining our Britishness.

I'd love to know if bringing that in made a difference other than people getting pissed off at adverts that show a great deal on some booze with 'excluding Scotland' underneath it.

What's stopping you moving to England for the day? Whinge whinge whinge.

As if they'll recognise you the second time you go up to the bar.


6p is a knowingly annoying price.  It needs a minimum of two coins- why not make it 5p or 10p if you're not allowed to give alcohol away for free?  To make it annoying, that's why.

Nobody carries coins around with them anyway now, so it would be really so hilarious if they allowed people to pay by card, but only for a minimum of £5 otherwise the cost is just raised to £5 to deal with it.

having to drink Greene King. that's terrible.

this must be one of Vladmir Putin's schemes

"Hello. What would you like?"
"1952"
"Sorry?"
"1952"
"What?
"1952!"
"Haha. Twat"

6p = 6 P

6 P = VI P

VI P = Vladmimir Putin nah

The "1952" thing sounds like one of those wanky "speakeasy" bars where you say the secret phrase and they let you and your mates into a secret door. Dread to think what horrid bunting-strewn secret piss dungeons are festering at the back of Greene King pubs for this wheeze.

We got great value from both these approaches when Youngs had a free pint for signing up to their app a few years ago.

Every 6p goes toward helping Prince Andrew rebuild his life.

Mr Farenheit

The trick is to put half a false beard, half a pair of specs, one coloured contact lens, shave half your hair on one side of your head.
Approach the bar crab-like so they only see you in profile, then simply switch sides for your second 6p pint!

There's 3 greene King on one road near me. Might write Monday afternoon off.

If you order at 19:52 do you get a bonus?

It's not gonna be as simple as that: when you buy your 6p pint in the first GK, your image will be sent (over the wires) to the other GK pubs... Imagine how embarrassing it'll be when they ask:

THEM: Have you availed yourself of our 6p IPA offer in any of our other pubs today, Sir?
YOU: No.
THEM: Well that's funny Sir, because this image I've just received over the wires shows a gentleman very similar to you etc...

"I have six twins, well not twins because there are six of us, sextuplets that's the word.  Maybe seven, ask me in a couple of hours if it's actually seven or eight."

The absolute ballache of having to police this.  Everyone's going to have at least three 6p pints, mark my words.

Some (but not all) bar staff will bother to fill the pint glass to the very top at this moment.

"Ahhh, 6p pint"

"... happy jubilee your majesty"

*looks down, and on my left, on the floor, kneeling down, smiling, looking up at me, was Her Majesty. And She was pointing at her open mouth, as if what He wanted was for me to vomit into the open mouth of The Queen. And I looked down and I thought, 'This can't be right.' But she was pointing and laughing and smiling, and encouraging me. And then I remembered she did have some history of sacrifice. So against, against my better judgement, at her apparent insistence, I did it – I vomited into the open mouth of Her Maj, until the mouth of The Queen was overflowing with my sick.*

Second thoughts, yeah GK IPA does taste like shit. Nothing there, no hops, no rounded barley..used to think my ex Father in law was being nice buying me pints till I realised it was 1.29 in selected pubs. Tight cunt.

Glebe

Cuh, will probably be 8p pints with inflation and that you couldn't make it up!

Meanwhile Nicolas Witchell will shock everyone by buying his first round.

Not true. As anyone who's read his book knows, he paid for a round of BBC teas for Diana and some others (The round was accidentally charged to his account (He was livid))
