RAMNA -Never heard of them !

This is a conversation that took place the other week in a small pub in South Shields. 

Participants :-

Branch Membership Secretary (BMS)
Lady Behind Bar (LBB)
Customer at bar (CAB)

BMS - On entering pub - " Hello love, Ive just popped in to deliver some CAMRA membership forms as I see you sell real ale" 

LBB - "RAMNA - never heard of it, and anyway I do my own thing"

BMS - " No its, CAMRA - the Campaign For Real Ale- we've been around since 1971"

LBB - " Well Ive been here for 20 years and Ive never heard of PAMNA"

CAB -" Its bloody CAMRA - you know when you put the Plum Porter on and we all get p***ed"

LBB - " Oh I dont know, whats in it for me?"

BMS -" We are just trying to drum up a bit more business and you are on our Whatpub website"

LBB - "What pub, this pub ? Oh give them here.

CAB - "Mate, I'd have a pint if I were you"   

The odd thing is, this pub gets CAMRA branch magazines dropped off every 3 months..Bizarre.
