There you go again, using big four letter words you only just have the grasp of.
If I drew my conclusions from only being given half the story who is to blame? Me? Or the person that started the thread and left too many gaps?
I may as well tell you it has been years from the last time I went in that pub, I was answering the facts as scribbled before me.
However if you promise you will never go in there again I might start using the pub because then I won't by chance meet you elsewhere.
Have you noticed during the whole of this thread there is only one of us that has needed to call the other an 'arsehole, claimed the other only 'talks through their arse', and that's you!
Your threads title is:-
dare I complain about the oaklea tavern..?
Well obviously you dare, or the thread wouldn't have started, now I ask you, Just because I don't agree with what you say does that make me a bad person? Do I really deserve you acting in such a childish manner? Good God man! you are supposed to be a mature responsible parent, if others don't always agree with you over something as stupidly petty as this how are you going to cope with life as the child grows older and real complications arrive?
You asked a question, I answered it, it wasn't the answer you wanted but somehow you have been aggrieved in such a way that I deserve the might of your intellectual insults, I cured my children of such petty insults by the time they were 5 grow up and stop blaming me for the hangover that you suffered Sunday that caused you to pick on the only thing you found wrong with the evening!

to be honest I got fed up reading your post after 'there you go again'...
you are quite boring after a while...
and for your information -I dont drink.
and the reason behind my title was pretty simple as I knew the jokelea supporters would come out and have a pop at me for daring to say anything negative about accringtons fabby pub! - and I was correct...

Re: dare I complain about the oaklea tavern..?
I was working the bar upstairs as you may or may no have realised i am related through the Neary side of the family, so it was my family do as well ....all it took was to ask me and i would have opened the back door for you, you where informed incorrectly but on this basis you slag the pub off? its not really that serious of a problem like its said a minor inconvenience of what was a good night

firstly - no idea you were related so we would not know to ask,
secondly we did not know there was a back door as the bar staff told us there was only one entrance(the one we came up) - who were we to doubt what the staff tell us - they can only go off of what their boss tells them?
thirdly - I slag the pub because the owner is making light of it in an unprofessional manner.
fourthly - minor inconvenience ? did you try to push a pram by a group of ignorant drunks who wouldnt move out the way?

Re: dare I complain about the oaklea tavern..?
I'm with you on this one, Glasgow Guy. You aired an opinion and had a right to air it without facing a barrage of abuse. Obviously the place is/was held in high esteem and certain punters can't take the slightest criticism without going on the defensive.
That's one thing coming from one of the little men that pops in for a bevvy now and again but you'd expect a more intelligent approach from the manager.

ok well now you know, pleased to meet you ,
like i said the bar staff probably mis understood your question as we are always asked about the door to the function room as it is passed the ladies toilet which people get confused by, therefore the bar staff would have just told you to go that way presuming you where confused about which way to go
it was probably bad timing for yourself to be honest as i know in the past people with children who are using the baby changind facilities which are downstairs have been escorted through the kitchen or across the bar, its just a shame the management didnt see your problem, they cant see everything all of the time, as im sure they would have acted to help you
You've had a bad experience, and some nasty pm's and bad karma which are uncalled for, and its just turned into a slanging match
See you at the next re-union hopefully i will be on the right side of the bar

one of the fairest replys on this thread...and the question that was asked to the bar staff was ' is there any other way upstairs as we have a pram ' - cant be taken any other way...we were told no - through that door.

Is that the best you can do unless you are cursing and swearing?
So you don't drink? Well I've a feeling that my worst drunken behaviour is to be praised in comparison to your for ever sober ill mannered outlook on life.
As for Oh yawn it's boring, yes it is boring when every day spoilt little tics like you go out of their way to de-cry others just because you wanted things your way, life isn't like that get used to it you whining little baby!
P.S. if you have read this far then you lied about me being boring didn't you?
P.P.S. I know you won't have read as far as this so I don't expect any more immature insults. Perhaps it's time that you, all other little children and this thread were put to bed? night, night, sweet dreams mummies little cherub. mind the bugs don't bite!

this is a public forum where you discuss things with other people - thats what you do on internet forums... I have every right to post about this on here..but is the person who booked the room to blame as we have now found out there is a back door that can be opened - so is the blame not at the manager for not relaying this properly to his downstairs bar staff?
and given jays post earlier...
"Maybe I should alter the booking form for the room to read......
"Would you like us to carry out any alterations to the layout of the building prior to your function?"
or
"Would you like us to put all our regular customers upstairs so that your guests can use the main bar instead. Thus avoiding any difficulties with prams?"
I doubt he would have entertained any pm I may have sent.
even you must agree its not the response a manager should come out with. joke or not..
