			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today me and MrsUW went into the Owain Glyndŵr pub in Cardiff, for a quick pint (for me) and something soft for her, I have not been in that pub for about four years.</p>
<p>I ordered a pint of <a href="http://www.vogbrewery.co.uk/cask.htm">VOG</a> Wheats occurring (a nice surprise to have that in this sort of pub.)</p>
<div class="pie-item" style="margin:10px 10px 10px 10px;">
<p class="pie-img-wrapper"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_v27uHOo86gw/StR3S6BD-0I/AAAAAAAAAfg/H6K768oAlNI/2009-10-13%2013.41.58.jpg?imgmax=640" alt="Vog wheats occuring" width="350"  class="pie-img"/></p>
<p class="pie-caption" style="width:480;">Vog wheats occuring</p>
</div>
<p>But was told that the Coke machine was playing up and a manger had to change it, and they would deliver the glass of sugar and water to the table.</p>
<p>after 10 mins I went to the bar to see &#8220;what was occurring&#8221; (see what I did there) as the coke had not arrived and was told the manager was on the phone.</p>
<p>So I said can I get an orange and soda, &#8220;Sorry no orange&#8221; but if you want to wait&#8230; the coke will be about 5 mins&#8221;.</p>
<p>15 mins to wait for a coke (i suppose it&#8217;s not McPub) ,  when it was supposed to be just a quick pint, so  I said can I get my money back &#8211; &#8220;Yes for the coke you can&#8221;</p>
<p>But what was the point of me drinking a pint (it was nice, mind you) when the Mrs is sitting there not drinking anything.</p>
<p>so I said I really wanted to get &#8220;all my money&#8221; back, she had to get the manager to do the refund, he was a different manager, so who was supposed to be changing the coke!</p>
<p>anyway I got all my £4.22 (yes thats right and it&#8217;s not even payday) back and managed to quaff half of a pint of the lovely VOG, so half a result &#8211; unfortunately the Owain Glyndŵr won&#8217;t be getting my custom again due to the slapdash service, for another 4 years, which is  shame as the beer was good.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry Beer fans I will try and pop to the Pub slammed on the side of the Owain Glyndŵr, which used to be the hogshead&#8230; sometime soon.</p>
