I’m reminded of Michael Caine in the film Get Carter. He’s an organised crime enforcer returned to his home town in the north of England to investigate his brothers death.
He goes into a hard northern working men’s pub and orders a drink. As the barman walks away he snaps his fingers and says menacingly; ‘in a thin glass’ (all beer being served in heavy glass jars in those days… except in London)

Time for us to find another bar then. I bet they start mopping up spills and doing hygiene related stuff. Start putting snacks on the bar as well. I’ll have to wear a tie. And pants. Bloody yuppies & hipsters moving in….
(Just a joke - everyone is welcome.)
