[FONT=&quot]As I'm not allowed any beer for a while, I am now drinking Pepsi.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This is an exchange that I had with the barmaid the other day.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Me, "Pepsi please"[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Barmaid, "Regular?"[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Me, "Wish I was![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]That went straight over her head and she looked at me as if I was a Martian.[/FONT]
 
Isn't Ardross a barista?

Tennents used to do a zero-alcohol lager which they called, appropriately enough, "Hee-Haw".

The brother had the car with him one night so wasn't drinking and asked the barmaid if they had any alcohol-free stuff. She said, "We've got Hee-Haw." The brother misunderstood and replied, "In that case I'll just have a soda water and lime."

It was only later she'd realised what had happened and explained to him that she wasn't being cheeky.
 
I've had encounters where young bar staff didn't know what a shandy was, or a St Clements.
Never mind not knowing any history.......
 
I once asked a lady in a hardware shop if she had any "hole saws".

I've called them tank cutters ever since.

At a well known Berkshire racecourse I ended up pouring shandies for them as they were tipping the lemonade straight in and coudn't understand why the 'head' on the drink kept flowing over the top of the glass.
Another time a friend asked for a lager top - nope!
