A lot of cinemas ban you from taking your own food and drink in now and even search you on the way in.
i knew that. doesnt stop me doing it though.

as for them searching my girlfriend, il just politely refuse and ask their rights to search at total randomness. if all else fails, i go into troll mode and demand my money back and throw the ticket in their faces. done it before will do it again. they rip you off properly with ridiculous food prices, and i for one like munchies when im watching a film.

lmao, i might sneak a BK Whopper into Mcdonalds, never realised the cinemas banned food i never bother with food at the flix, it is very overpriced, and there is a Franky&Bennys right next door to my local ICI so we normally just got for a quick meal and a pint before/after the film

also got visions of people sneaking 4 cans of LCL into the local boozer PMSL

Not surprising that the pubs get a bit irritated about it though!

.

There was a report on tv (so it must be true) about food in cinemas, and the result was, they can't actually stop you taking food into cinemas and eating it. They can tell you they don't want you to do it, they claim for health and safety reasons

I've sumggled drink out but never in
For those who know Tellins I used to walk back from the town centre to Rainford (in my student days) so needed to smuggle out a pint or two to see me home... Thankfully my mate was into skate boards so wore baggy jeans with immense pockets.
I once got barred for serving myself in a pub because they were taking too long, but never took my own booze in? I did though drink a bottle of 20/20 behind a local multi storey before going into the town centre pubs when I was 17-20

Not if you keep your bottle on the floor
I have a "special" pair of trousers, I can get a bottle of wine in each pocket

Me and a mate had done this at an hotel in Blackpool. Later there was a comedian on and he asked who was in from Yorkshire.
When a few answered, he said, "Oh sh*t, I'll tell the bar. Takings'll be down, you'll all have brought your own booze".

Me and my mate cracked up, 'cos we HAD.
