The slugs who say it- generally pissheads who like to rant about immigrants (of which I am one, but the "good kind" - wouldn't dare say it in front of the owner or his partner. They know if they did, they'd be eviscerated. Generally, they get a "I'm here to pour pints, not entertain you" response from me; I'm far more blunt and rude than most Brits are used to.

But it's seriously fucking exhausting.
