** At the pub, the burly man can be distracted if you hide under the stairs and honk, whereupon he'll leave his post to climb the stairs and peer at the deck. This is useful for leaving quickly with an item. However, if you're thinking out of the box, you can also achieve this by opening the gates to the other areas and getting a walkie-talkie from the high street under the stairs. Honking through the other one will get the burly man to investigate the stairs just like if the goose was under them. Using a walkie-talkie outside while one is under the stairs is a pretty effective way to enter the pub, since the burly man will be distracted and leave the entrance open.
