If I am sober can a pub bar me?

Regardless of your relationship with this man, or any question of discrimination, if you are hanging aronud after closing time, the land lord not only has a right, but a responsibility to ask you to leave the premises. Drinking up time is limited and a landlord could risk losing their license if they do not comply with the regulations. Plus, they had already been at work all evening, and they probably didn't want to stay up listening to you and your mate chatting all night. Either way, as a previous poster has pointed out , they have the right to ask you to leave their premises for ALMOST any reason, including not liking you, wanting to go home to bed rather than host a get-together with your friend, fearing for the licensing repurcussions or just thinking that you might be inclined to stay on indefinitely if they didn't ask you to leave.

Also running a pub is hard work. If the Landlord called time at 11 on Friday and you hung around until half midnight, he probably didn't get to finish closing up and get home to his own bed until around 1.30 in the morning. He would then have been up early for his deliveries, and as Saturday would be a busy day, by 11.00pm on the Saturday he was probably feeling tired, ready for his bed, and not at all inclined to hang around for you again.

Why are you upset about being asked to leave at closing time? I can see why you would be upset if thrown out while the pub is still open, but it makes no sense to get upset about being asked to go when the pub is shutting. Do you also get upset if you aren't allowed to shop in a Department Store after it has shut for the night, or stay on in the cinema after the film has ended? Public places have opening hours, and no one has a right to access to these places outside of those times, nor do you have a right to insist on being the last person out of the door when they shut.

The reason I need to go to the pub to buy his CD is that I don't see so much of him any more. We used to spend a lot of time together working with my son, which is how we became friends, but now, he has a partner and has moved away, and altho we are still friends, I don't see so much of him any more because he has finished working with my son.

Well, that sounds a little less stalkerish, then.

The management reserves the right to refuse admission and the right to ask customers respectfully to leave.

That is the sign in our local.

Just to clear things up there does not seem to be any question of discrimination here and I never suggested there was.

the op asked for information in her first post and received some, some of which was incorrect in stating that a landlord has the right to throw you out for any reason.

In a limited number of instances and for limited reasons they do not have that right and have been succesfully taken to court and the landlord has lost in those instances.

I was clarifying blanket statements previously posted as fact and I posted to provide accurate information.

If you throw out someone who is black,disabled and very drunk and their behaviour is disturbing other patrons that is not discriminatory because the reason you are ejecting them is because they are very drunk not because they are black or disabled

The disability discrimination act does not allow service providers to treat disabled users less favourably for a reason related to their disability

I asked for A link. The first that I could connect to I did read but it did nothing to add to the point of the thread.

To be perfectly clear, you asked for a link describing how a landlord has not got a right to ask someone to leave if the reason is covered by discrimination legislation. i.e. asking someone in a wheelchair to leave because the wheelchair makes that persons presence a "fire hazard".

You did not ask for a link explaining if a landlord has a right to exclude people (or not) on grounds not covered by discriminatory legislation, i.e. a case similar to the OP.

When you were given the link that YOU requested, you got all shirty, and started complaining about the links not having anything to do with why the OP was asked to leave. The link YOU requested was on a different aspect of the subject.

Most other people reading this thread can see it was YOUR mistake, and we can see (read) perfectly well the point that neiljc was making.

Countrymusicfan - you sound like a weird fan/stalker. Waiting outside the pub, wanting to speak to him, and "claiming" to be his best friend. Yea, you said you don't see him much, if he's your best friend, phone him, text him. I'm getting the impression from your posts that he's not exactly jumping over hurdles to speak to you, e.g. giving you his number or asking to you contact him some other time.

Believe me, I am not a weird fan/stalker, we are friends. He has 3 numbers, all mobiles, and the reason I don't see much of him is because he is in Glasgow in a new relationship and finds it hard to find time to get up to Inverness. It is quite far and he is quite busy. If I was a stalker he wouldn't be spending time working with my son, and he wouldn't sign me in at the Legion as his guest. My son will be a singer someday and he is teaching my son.
Found out what happened. So many punters had stopped and talked to him that he never got home until 6 am and had asked the manager to keep the punters from crowding him. He apologised and said it wasn't me, but too many punters all wanted to talk to him all night.

Good to hear you sorted it out, also nice to hear you're not a stalker!!! (no offence meant by that by the way).

Happy new year.
