we are now so cloned ...with our shops and city centres all being identical ...that no one ...no one at all ...can be allowed any kind of different treatment ...what happened to the HUMAN condition overnight?
i'm going to have to test the waters here.
i'm going to the pub with a hat on this weekend ...and i'll refuse to remove it.
see me in the papers next week aye ...
i would have been quite happy to have let the old woman keep the hat on, if i was the landlord of the pub, as you said, shes hardly a terrible danger, but the problem is, im not the landlord, and you cant argue with the official policy of a pub
i think its bad that towns are starting to look like identical clones
people shouldnt be allowed much different treatment in generall, unless they are impaired (disabled or terribly frail), cause otherwise you start getting into the issue of men and women having equal rights, why shouldnt i be sexist if we are to be ageist by being super nice to old people
thing is you say if you were a landlord you would allow smoking, and that what you choose should be the be all and end all of all arguments, so how come in this case a landlords choice in the matter certainly doesnt mater anymore to you
And if she smiles and says "no thanks, sonny"?
i'll send some kendal mint cake in the post, and make sure you wear your i love jim banner in the post
and to be honest, i only think you will get in the paper if you complain about it
dont let her in next time
What level of violence is allowable to stop this old woman entering the pub then?
but ...the fact a thread can be made ridculing old people for wanting to wear hats ...and people call this old dear all manner of things ...people support such stupid rules beggars belief.
the whole attitude to a little old lady ...is beyonfd me.
remember ...youth and beauty are fleeting things ...
none, because as proven she bitched off at the newspapers and left at her own accord
though i cant answer your question, because as much as its easy to counter act someones factual response, its too easy to twist and kill responses based on hypothetical situations
someone still hasnt answered the question
why is it so bad that this landlord has decided he doesnt like hats in his pub, thats its such a travesty of all thing holy, yet you think that if a landlord decides he wants an all smoking bar, its ok to follow his lead in that case
i wasnt ridiculing old people wanting to wear hats
i was ridiculing people in general wanting to wear hats indoors, and also the fact that the old woman in general went and bleated at the papers thinking it was disgraceful because she is old, which it isnt
its disgraceful in general, to anyone, not just old people, and its also silly to wear hats indoors as well
irrelevant post really as the staff were nothing but polite when asking
Just because they're old? Bollocks to that.
Old people are like young people. There're some I respect, and some I don't.
i dont think i did, because posting as you did suggests that the establishment in someway directly intended to piss this old woman off, which they didnt
i can hardly respect people i do not personally know, or know of
my problem with this old woman in question is her behaviour and what happened, not purely because she is old, you do not automatically have me dancing and singing in the rafters like an angel catering for your every need, just because you might be an old person, if you act in a bit of a crazy and pretty unjustified manner, i'll treat you without respect, regardless of your age
It isn't in the least bit disrespectful to ask her (politely, of course), to remove it.
Because the pub wishes to impose that rule. I think dress codes (and the pubs that have them) are bollocks, but it's up to them.
I don't really understand the "sensible thought" thing. The pub (for some reason) banned the wearing of hats. She fell foul of that rule, and was asked to take it off (like anyone else in the pub would've been). It seems quite simple.
off the topic question, but it wouldnt happen to be HSBC would it?
