Superior Hot Weather Sales Technique

18/07/2021 Leave a comment

Bridgend because, why not, haven’t been there for ages and it’s the same price on the train as just going to Cardiff. Double check in at the Wyndham Hotel. Apparently due to the council? Slowly watching an upload and then onto to The Coach. What an excellent pub it is! And the Barmaid has an excellent sales technique. Two glasses and a T-shirt later. Didn’t make it to the Little Bar on the Bridge as I became a bit sleepy and then it was the joy of cancelled trains. I need more Beano training, urgently.#

Ready The Prelude

11/07/2021 Leave a comment

High Summer, a drizzly Summer and it was off to Cardiff to dust off the old Beano Prelude Video skills. Starbucks in St Mary Street is now open from early and the Central Bar is still the place where the whole world goes for a Full English. Pity it hasn’t got FTTC yet. The PM is held in Bubs. The Finest of Ales, the quality of the welcome and Fast FTTC Wifi. Good times were back. Mostly Tiddly on the way home.

Cheeky Chicken

04/07/2021 Leave a comment

Cheeky Chicken is Chicken with Piri Piri by the way, at least it is in the Bay.  High Summer, showery with longer periods of rain and a gap of ten years since I was there last. A new Spoons, see ten years ago and Brew Monster’s Bay Tap House. Minus  points, the Bay Spoons, The Mount Start is far more expensive than most other Spoons. Differential pricing at it’s best. Also missed an order that I made via the app. However, the get a pass as pubs shouldn’t be table services. Politics and all that.

The plus side. Brew Monster’s Bay Tap House. Long and narrow and you have to be sitting down to sign in but again a pass. Good selection of beer. An Untappd verified venue and the food was good. It’s also opposite the Buffet if you need more. Probably go there again and maybe not wait ten years?

2021 – The Year Ahead
Covid will still be the big thing as in 2020 but with vaccines
Vaccine rollout will be slower than hoped for
Lockdowns will continue for far longer than expected
The Welsh Government elections in May will leave Wales even more fragmented
Wet led Pubs will take a battering
More Breweries will close
There will be more civil disobedience
New iPad Pros, Air Trackers and finally a new Apple TV
Windows Update process will still be poor
By Q3 all phones will be 5G capable
Apple will announce a M2 SOC
Podcasts will be even bigger, Amazon just bought Wondery
Stay-cations will be even bigger post Brexit and Covid
Cardiff City will still struggle
The move to my personal OneDrive
