When the Superholds ultimitely ended up in Local Boozers, you only got 3 or 4 goes at it before they got rid or you got the "You're alright to come in for a drink...but" line.
Its a pretty stressful time out there at the minute. I'm ending up getting drunk to keep the butterflies at bay. + Pints are better than J2O/Cokes in rough pubs.
I've even mastered the art of playing the machine like a frustrated munter, using notes (tenners of course), cursing under my breath at the machine, shaking my fist when I get a win etc.
One good thing nowadays is the £10 Note Payouts which makes things a lot more discreet.

I wouldn't have thought so. I'd threaten them with legal action, although there's not much you can do now they've all got your photos!thecannonball89 wrote:Also the local fruit company around my way sent out pics of me and a mate to all of there pubs saying we cant play machines. Forgot about it until last week got kicked out of a pub that had my photo. Is this legal?

Really good thread, just ploughed through it all.
If more players were like amazing's mate that prosecuted the guy for assaulting him, and took this attitude with other things too such as the illegal distribution of cannonballs photo etc then maybe things could be better.
But how Many players have the patience, the intellect and the guts to make a stand?
Prosecuting these fuckers is the only way they'll learn. But most players seem only capable of breaking a window or something at the most which, whilst amusing, doesn't exactly help us...

Any ideas who s west is then? Obviously not someone who keeps his mouth shut!
Always makes me laugh the people who run arcade or distribution businesses without the first clue on machines. And then whinge when it all goes wrong. Most of us on here would be far Better equipped to run these companies.

Maureen was her name. And she was a bitch who would just bar you for putting two coins in before pressing start.
The cunt in me came straight to the surface one day when I laughed at being told she had to retire after having a stroke.
i'd been ripping the reno reels in the maidstone montag twice a week for about 6 months before she found out.Been-Grant-Mitchell'd! wrote:Yeah, I remember that place.

i steered clear of the place, but went in about 7-8 years later and was barred again as soon as i stepped foot in there again.
