As myself and ermtony as mentioned we frequent the St. John’s in Hull.  Well we have a new landlord.  His name is Scott, he says he’s not going to change things and not kick us oud b**gers out.  He asked me the other night:- “John, how do I get snuff, to fill up the three snuff boxes around the bar, when it gets low.”  I said no worries, I, ermtony & Richard do the fillings.

Then on my smart phone I showed him a picture of “Snufftakers Arms” It’s a photo shop editing of his pub, I’ve posted it on here a few times so will not boar you with that.  Anyway he wanted me to email him the image, he’s gonna print it and stick it on the walls.

He’s also considering changing the name of the pub to THE SNUFF TAKERS ARMS.  Oh! how the world of SNUFF lives on in our White Rose County!

@snuffhead  I’m a noob here.  lemme see… lemme see… please… please, lemme see the picture.

OK, if I must, but don’t get exited.

In Yorkshire, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yes!  we still have Kosher pork butchers.

Ee, lad, tis wonderful ideeur. An at sem tahhm change name o’ ‘ull back ta Kingston- Upoon ‘ull ta mek it soun’ chuffin’ gran’.

Sure wish we had something like that in the U.S. You lucky bastards!

@SnuffHead  I am wondering how the communal boxes of snuff work in a bar? Do people just stick their fingers in or are there spoons? Not really important but made me curious.

@greencrow I was wondering that too.

I think you just pinch from them. Sweden used to have communal snus boxes in pubs, too.

@ PhilipS I kingtsun it es

@ greencrow U jus stick yor fingers in it. Spoons wud soome get pinched jus like a loose box of snuff did in a nearby pub.  It was a large box with a loose lid.  Must have gone into a lady’s hand bag, bet she had snuff every place! :-) 

@SnuffHead   Not to be squeamish but that doesn’t sound like the most sanitary of practices. I think I would just carry my own rather than use the bar’s snuff.

We do use our own, that bar snuff is for the occasional snuffers.

Ah that makes more sense then. Just some extra for the newbies. 

I must make a pilgrimage next time I’m through. My wife has to visit the Hospital there from time to time, and my folks live there too.

No more unsanitary than the peanuts and pretzels in some american bars. Plus you put them in your mouth.

definatly more sanitary then some of the gals you find in some bars and people put them in their mouths. So Pot Poe has a solid point, even if I feel a little naughty.

Oh, you know Peanut and Pretzel also? They sure do get around.

How romantic! SNUFF TAKERS ARMS.I would definitely like to have a drink there!

Closest thing I have to that in my neighborhood is “Snuffy McGees.” When I took out my snuffbox and said that it was only appropriate given the name of the place, I discovered that nobody there had ever seen snuff before… I haven’t been back.

If I ever make a pilgrimage to the UK, a visit to THAT place will be 1st on the list!

“John, how do I get snuff to fill up the three snuff boxes around the bar when it gets low.” Ee, Scott, tha’s a daft bugga, thar opens lid of snuff box ‘n tip or spoon t’ snuff from tin til snuff box is full. Thar norrz it’s full when thar can’t put enny mooar i’ wiyaa’ snuff messin up bar.

Don’t laugh, The pub only had two snuff boxes until a nearby pubs snuff was sabotaged, someone put chilli powder in it.

Ouch!

Bloody wankers!

Like the large Box in another pub nearby.  It was stolen, and would only have gone in a lady’s handbag.  The top was loose so I hope it popped open in her bag and into her female, pieces she had in her handbag.

Heyup, why does she have her female bits in her handbag?

I hear it’s the latest new fad that has caught on with the youth.
