It wouldn’t be a barrel of laughs!

A REAL-life landlord says Danny Dyer and other fictional pub bosses make running a boozer look way too easy.

I don’t watch EastEnders myself, but to be fair to double D, left, if he was rolling barrels all over the place and doing every job under the sun that needs to be done, then he wouldn’t have much time to act out the storyline, agreed?

The last time I went to my local a bloke walked in with a piece of green tarmac over his head.

The landlord warned me away from him, exclaiming: “That bloke’s a cycle path.”

If that wasn’t enough, a nose walked in 10 minutes later and the landlord refused to let it buy a drink.

He looked straight at it and said: “I’m not serving you, you’re already off your

face.” My favourite movie pub scene must be from An American Werewolf In London, which has just celebrated its 40th anniversar­y.

When two Americans walk into a country pub in the middle of nowhere, inset, the locals are all drinking, chatting and playing darts. But when they open the door, everyone falls silent.

This happens a lot when you venture into a “local” local, because small villages treat their little pub like their own living room.

If you’re not part of their family, you’re not always made to feel welcome.

I’m sure Danny Dyer would be accepted into any pub. In fact, he probably has to have a selfie with the landlord behind the bar, then pull a few pints for his fans and serve up a few meals.

No wonder he doesn’t portray the real deal landlord life when he’s at work then. It’s all an act, right Danny?
