A couple of weeks later me, my partner and my daughter went into the pub for something to eat.My mate, seeing us came over to take our order. After my partner and my drinks had arrived my daughter mentioned that her drink hadn't, I suggested she go to the bar and ask why. My daughter came back and told me that the barman had told her that he thought she was going to get her own drink, for some reason.
