Often when working in a pub like the WH the bar staff are serving drinks, dealing with food orders, adding logs to the stove etc etc quite possible they don't think about the music and a polite request is rarely refused in my experience. I wouldn't condem a pub over something like that, I've been in one or two pubs in my time 😋 and I thought the White Heron scored well, I've been in many worse pubs! And to cap it all the Humpty Dumpty was excellent 😀🍺
