Winged thingies ??

Yes but what kind of winged thingies. Furry moth or butterfly thingies.

Well if you are going to get all technical on me .
But seriously, sorry but I have no clue.

I agree. Today I bought a pint of ipa and a coke......nearly £8.00. One guy had a glass of house red......£7.00.

Noticed you mentioned the price, but after I'd posted. Price wasn't the problem, what was served up was the problem.

I just took a sip, handed it back, saying "be kind to it, you can't make it any worse".

Indeed.
There is a big UGLY** hotel with all the spa facilities plus 2 full golf courses. I gather it caters for corporate stuff and wealthy foreigners.
**It looks like a big block of council flats.

Ahh so you have been there.
TBH the ipa was quite nice even though the price wasn't.
I asked the barmaid to top it up as the head was about 50mm.....she pulled a face like a smacked a**e but at over £5.00 a pint I could care

They are the double winged yellow spot butterfly. First discovered by Joseph Banks.

Not in the main bar then. Or has the "Men Only" bar gone?

I was once told if you do not know what you are talking about, at least try and sound like you do.

Hence the above post.

For what it is worth I agree with Dave7.
