 BARS - Most sell scratchings, some don't!
This page will list the various brands of Hairy Pork Scratchings and the 'Bars' you can get them from!
We fully understand that you get pork scratchings from the Pub, but the premise of this site would say that you are already in the Pub, and therefore you get scratchings from 'The Bar' of the pub. So to be clear it's not where you get them from if you are on the street, but where you get them from when you are in the pub, and this would be at the bar.
Tell us where your Pub is, and the Pork Scratchings they sell, send us a picture of the pub, the scratchings at/behind the bar, and/or a picture of the pack, come on get involved.
We really want your pictures so feel free to send us them, taken with your mobile phone or digital camera, we are happy to receive anything you can send us.

Scratching brand on sale: Mr Porky
|
 |
|
Scratching location: Mr Porky's Pork Scratchings, extremely well hidden under a pile of other bar snacks.
Side note: If you don't immediately see scratchings behind the bar, you may have to ask a barman/barmaid if they have any. Now in the north, the answer is generally 'Yes sir', however in the south, you may as well be speaking another language, so beware.

Scratching location: Invisible. You can't expect people to buy stuff if it's not on display. This being the reason why the loony left labour government is going to put fags under the counter. You shouldn't have to ask. They willl probably stop selling scratchings soon due to lack of sales.
