Careful "dableywolf" - all but one of the regular female bar staff are indeed mothers (and I know there are quite a few regulars who would volunteer to help out the one), but you're pushing your luck with "motherly" - would you rather drink your Dabley or wear it ?!?!?

Sorry "equality1st" but your comments are so unfair. I'm probably among the most regular of the regulars at the Nations and rugby bores me to death (as does football). But, because Jim the landlord and quite a few others are rugby fans they have a TV on for major international games (if you were worried on H&S grounds I suggest you've had a VERY sheltered life).
Does it bother me? - not a bit, because although the game leaves me cold the atmosphere in the pub is warm and friendly, unlike that I've experienced in pubs when there's a football match on, which can rapidly become downright unpleasant if not frightening.
All I can say is that I'd be happy to take my 76 year-old mum in there, at any time (I'd probably tell her not to sit in front of the telly....).
Just accept that The Nations makes a lot of people happy - and the idea of 'selected customers' being 'pampered' is a 'load of b******s.
You should try the pub two minutes from my front gate - all the football you want on three big screens, beer I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy and a glass in the face if you look in the wrong direction - perhaps you'd like it?

Quote - "angeldrop":
"I found this pub very unwelcoming when i arrived, with the landlord Jim, being very rude and obnoxious"
Oh dear, didn't get off to a good start did you? Perhaps you'd like to tell us more - perhaps if u'd given him a few minutes' warning Jim could have ordered the regular customer's outs'ide, changed hi's clothe's, laid out a red carpet and arranged for Jackfield Band to play a s'election of variation's on "Here the Conquering Hero Come's".
From personal experience Jim's not VERY rude and obnoxious on first acquaintance - he tends to reserve that level of familiarity for people he knows fairly well...
"I ordered a pint of dabley ale and was ignored when i waited for 20mins at the bar while he served his regulars customer's" - nonsense - and you know it.
After all this, and the attempt to poison you with dog hair you still "feel that there should be some soft music playing in the back ground to make it more of a welcoming feeling" - I think you're flogging a dead horse here, let's face it, it's never going to be your favourite pub.
For anyone else, who wants to visit a genuine, traditional local pub, with the friendliest welcome you'll find anywhere - just read the comments made by the other's ;�) on here - 7 out of 8 can't be wrong!!
...and I'll continue to put my money where my mouth is - I'm the bloke with the ink-stained hands (sorry - hand's) propping up the end of the bar at teatime most evenings.
