No matter where you go, it's a different cast in the same roles

Has been coming to the pub since 1982, has seen 9 different landlords, 4 different pub names, and is still paying prices from the early 90s because no-one has been willing to tell him otherwise.

2. The Beer Snob

Slowly tastes every beer, explains at length that the kegs are at slightly the wrong temperature, and bemoans the lack of a certain obscure craft beer. Generally immediately in front of you at the bar.

3. The Underage Drinkers

A group of 15 year-olds hiding around the corner from the bar and sending their one friend who's started to shave to order. Convinced they're utterly undetected, but actually being tolerated with wry amusement.
