from the meat raffles.

I thought this had to do with some sort of popular prostitution. I'm disappointed.

I thought this was a thread about Meatls Raff!

The following suggests Classic, especially if it's true:

'A south-Wales man was awarded £23000 by a Cardiff judge after
breaking his arm in a maestag pub. The man had slithered on a trail of grease which, it was pointed out, had been caused when another customer slithered across the bar room floor with two pork chops tied to his feet. The landlord explained that the customer was celebrating having just won the chops in the pub's christmas raffle.'

Well I thought it was funny.

Was it you won the raffle?

meat raffles (or draws, in my particular neck of the woods) are so classic. i remember waking up the morning after my dad had won the local working men's club one and opening the fridge and it being ENTIRELY FULL OF MEAT and then eating LOTS OF MEAT (including steak which we never had [insert tale of childhood poverty and/or lack of avocados here]) for tea that night.

Hitting a possum with your truck on the way home from the bar = winning the meat raffle.

Meat ROFLs?

It's a northern thing.

I am indeed having a big, hearty meaty roffle right now.

When on a brief holiday to Dorset in 2003, I went in two pubs on Portland Bill and both had meat raffles advertised - that's advertising in the sense of saying 'why not come to the pub on Sunday, where you could win a bag of meat'.

A big bag of meat's pretty tempting after a few pints.

I remember my first encounter with the concept of meat raffles. I was bemused.

I still am, for that matter.
