Guinness claim to be proud of the 1000 year lease on their factory premises in Dublin.

In reality it came about because Arthur Guinness are the victim of a particularly audacious piece of timeshare fraud.

Any mention of this by an employee sees the offender forced to drink the company's products until they apologise. For some strange reason the apologies are usually a very long time in coming.

Wetherspoons was founded by Michael Fish (no fish puns please - this is a serious thread).

Obviously, he was a weather man, but it is less widely known that he was adept at playing the spoons. Thus he named his new business venture, "There Will Be No Hurricane Weather Spoons", which was later shortened to Wetherspoons as the original name made the business cards rather large and ungainly.

A bartender is only allowed to retired when their glass polishing tea towel is worn so thin you can see through it. This is why they spend hoirs dilligently pilishing the same glass kpover and over.

A bartender who loses or damages his towel must commit ritual suicide, bu throwing themselves head first down the cellar steps.
