Greetings from Newcastle. Sunny but windy presently.
Out last night with a scouse work mate, he's alright actually, however, he got a round in and exclaimed to the barmaid "and one for you" or something similar. Apparently, in Liverpool this entitles the bar person to have 50p of the change. It meant nothing to the others in the round or the Geordie barmaid yet he looked at everyone as if we were mad.
Anyone heard of this weird business before? |  |

50p? Is your mate from 1982? |  |

If somebody said that to me I'd assume they meant a pint. |  |

He doesn't get out much. Is this actually a thing then? | |

No, of course not. The bloke seems a div.
At the very least he should realise that even if in some daft part of Liverpool in means 50p, it doesn't necessarily mean the same in other parts of the country.
I knew a scouser that called cigarettes smirgals, I wouldn't go to a shop in Ipswich and ask for a pack of smirgals though.
The note was probably counterfeit anyway. |  |

Sounds about the same as in the military, in the SNCOs mess it is customary to say 'and have one yourself' to the bar staff which usually means they put 20p out of your change in their pot. |  | | |

Tipping is a thing yes. Giving someone the price of 4/5ths of a Mars bar, less so.
Standard practice is tell them to take a drink and if they are decent they only take enough for a half.
Unless you get so pissed up and showing off like I did once, you slip the waiter a £20 in handshake thinking you're The Wolf of Halesworth. You have to take those on the chin. | |

He's alright but likes to let people know he's from Liverpool. Constantly.
I hit a nerve by telling him I didn't rate The Beatles and both The Kinks and The Stones were better. | |

I've no issue tipping for good service, just thought this practice seemed a bit derisory and cheapskate. Suppose it all adds up over an evening though. | |

I'm sure if we had someone who lived in America they could tell us. But out there it's something like a dollar per drink tip at bars, which is similar but at least proper.
I agree, your scouse mate would look like he's taking the piss to most people surely? | |

The Stones were definitely better than the Beatles! |  | | |

I'm willing to bet, based on the information you're giving me here, that he' hasn't been anywhere near Liverpool for at least 10 years. |  |

Or a glass of white wine, if they're a barmaid.
Rules are rules. | |

You have never ordered from a bar and said one for yourself?
Although I would expect to buy them a pint opposed to 50p. My old local the LL took for a half |  |
