The worst ruling I have ever seen and it's me who has to be the victim

but they got rid of 1/2p coins before 1/2p sweets. sweets were then 2 for a penny for a while before they scrapped them as well

can't really see the chancellor going 'well yeah chaps, I know it makes sense to scrap the penny but I can't possibly do it until the sweet companies alter their offerings or the poor kidz will get confused'

I don't remember ever being able to get 1/2p sweets, but unfortunately am old enough to remember the 1/2p being in circulation.  My shop must have been a rip off.

I can remember pre-decimalisation ha'penny sweets. In fact, I can remember when you could get two sweets for a ha'penny.

Sigh...

As long as the kidz can still get their ciggies and booze, they'll be fine.

You're talking a load of aniseed balls.

Aniseed balls.  The ideal sweet for nits.  Was there a better way of getting your 1/4 of sweets to last longer?

I can remember calling at a girls house to take her out on a pictures and chip shop date.

Her mother looked pointedly at me and said  "See that she's back by 10" and then, to the daughter as we departed, " And you... keep yer 'and on yer ha'penny"

LOL....I can hear her voice now, probably sounding like Ivy from the cafe in Last of The Summer Wine.

Back in the day you also had to "be careful where you dip your radish" in some circles.

Sorry to resurrect this, but I do have a query.

Do the dealers at DTD commentate on their games? For instance, when I am pointing at you and you check, I'll say "check" and move on to the next player? I find it hard to imagine a player cannot notice this occurring. I personally feel this situation, along with so many other out of turn action scenarios, stem from the fact that the "silent" check has risen to such prominence.

Ahh..... Dipping radishes. I wonder if anyone still does that these days? (Apart from metaphorically of course)

I think the majority do (and that's how they've been trained/told to do it), but as they often bring in a lot of dealers from elsewhere for the larger events I guess it's possible that the dealer in this instance didn't.  Like you said, if the dealer clarifies the action from each player, any misunderstanding can be dealt with immediately.  In the .50/1 cash games the one I see often is someone raising to £4 and throwing in a £5 chip but announcing 'four' before they do.  To the dealer, especially if it's noisy the 'four' can sound very much like 'call'.  So the dealer will say 'call?' or 'four?' and get clarification before moving on to the next player.  I usually show four fingers if I'm throwing in a single chip but raising to £4, or of course the player can say "raise to £4' to make it clear what they want to do.

Is Simon going to comment on this thread?

The dealers are only told to announce when the action changes, but they are told to follow the play with their hand.

I would love to comment on this thread but know this point will be raised in the supervisors meeting tomorrow, so will refrain until after the meeting. I am sure Simon will also comment after the meeting.

Should your dealers look at a players cards when they scoop them in as he's away from the table?

Absolutely not, and they will get bollocked if we ever catch them
