Tbf that applies to everything  

[Howmanheyman 26820]

I used to drink it pretty regularly but I was at work and it was gratis. Once I left the thought of paying for it just didn't sit right with me and I didn't usually drink it out of work.

What job provides free bottles of Dog? 

[ewerk 26329]

I think that explains why he's no longer employed there.

When doing an hourly QA tests it was compulsory to have a taste.

I think so. Players have played full internationals then changed iirc. Not sure in the exact regs like

“ So, why am I being asked to leave, boss?”

 

” Two dozen bottles does not constitute ‘a taste’ , Mr. Heyman!”

Didn’t the draymen used to be entitled to a free drink at every pub? Could be an urban myth but I seem to remember my dad saying that

They weren't officially entitled to a drink but no self-respecting pub landlord would not offer a drink and no self-respecting drayman would refuse such a kind offer so I believe? Loads would have at least one bottle or a cup during a shift, especially if you weren't driving. (After my first shift, getting changed in the locker room a couple of the old sweats asked if I liked broon ale? I said I could have the odd drop they then opened up a locker with a bottle in it and told me I could have it but not to leave 'a dead soldier'*. I thought briefly, is this a trap and I'm sacked on the first day or more likely a test of trust, I quickly decided it was the latter and necked the bottle and about ten years later at a leaving drink when it shut one of those old sweats who was there, who was basically the Geordie 'Columbo' said, 'We knew you were alreet on your first day when you had that bottle, Davey son'

(He didn't say 'one more thing' which was a shame).

 

 

*Dead bottle = leaving an empty or part empty bottle instead of getting rid of the evidence.

I think the draymen having a drink at each pub was probably less bad when they were still actually using horses, mind.

There was usually two of them.

 

I wasn't one but I know a couple of lads that moved down there, think their depot was near Washington iirc?

Tetley's brewery was the same.  They got half a pint quota every day.

[DCR 18]

At our local brewery, all the workers were allowed 2 bottles a day. When we were doing building work there ,we were allowed 2 bottles as well. Had a cupboard full of brown ale when we finished working there.

[wykikitoon 16635]

A total contrast to the cunt that owns Sam Smiths

[The Fish 8989]

Worked for a company that did market research in the booze industry. They had people travelling all over the world talking to producers, distributors and the like. Always came back with bottles of spirits and wines. Every Friday was basically a piss-up after lunch. Your first Friday is traditionally a baptism of firewater.

I've did handovers with blokes that could barely speak.

[Howay 12452]

 Really goes along with his wannabe hard man image, being a grass. 
 

Btw this is what he posted following that one:

 The lad running the parody account must have a hard time. Wonder if we will see Mike Dean report that post for bullying.

You see this is the problem, they stopped taking quality assurance seriously.
