    I've seen the same responses by this outfit on Facebook. They ignore the questions about the driving license and instead try to shift the blame to TS.

    I suspect that the place will take a hit for business. Being busy on a sat night, at a seaside resort, when the weather is like this is not difficult. I would like to see how they do when it's not peak season as alot of people seem very angry by this place.

    I sincerely hope this costs them business.

    I'm a local and avoid this dive like the plague.Cops are called regularly, drunk patrons spilling all over the pavement for a fag so it causes difficulty passing by the premises, and it acts as a magnet for the local alkies, druggies and homeless who are trying to score '40p for the bus'.Nasty frontage as well - really doesn't do anything for the area.

    For example the person who asked what had happend was immediately barred. I'm guessing he was polite and not "ARGH WHAT !!!!!! WHY!!!!"

    low intelligence? as opposed to joining a forum and digging yourself into a deeper hole?

    i think the correct action would have been to come on here and say something like "all a big misunderstanding, these brave lads are welcome to come down for a free night in Ma Kellys"

    using your reasoning above would you think it acceptable for a supermarket to ban certain groups? or maybe you think it ok for blacks not to be allowed to sit on buses?
    Really a free night? How do we know the "victims" did nothing wrong?

    Theres more to this.

    Your examples do happen. Supermarkets/shops do often ban kids without parents so it does happen,

    So theres something more.

    the OP has over 2000 posts, i would put more weight in what he says than someone that has two posts.

    have you seen a military ID? it's not exactly an easy thing to forge.

    banning kids without parents isn't exactly the same as banning someone because of their profession.
