Don't say pal, mate etc 2 Do not attract a barman's attention with the word Oi! 3 Order Guinness first 4 Do not drop your payment on the bar to be picked up 5 Do not moan about the head on your pint 6 Do not refer to drinks by ridiculous nicknames 7 Order all drinks at once when possible 8 Do not offer 'the right change' 9 Do not abuse drinking-up time 10 Do use the bribery trick known as 'and one for yourself' Source: Black Bo's is a fine hostelry in Edinburgh.
