Re: well i ask you!!!!
Maybe the dress code depends on what side of the bed the manger got out of on that particular day.

Re: well i ask you!!!!
I worked in one posh school, the fashion there was smart suit and trainers. It is the fashion. They should get their act together.

Re: well i ask you!!!!
It's their problem. It's your custom they are losing. Might be idea to go in in 'posh' shoes and a bag. Get your meal go to the lav with bag. Change shoes. Go back to table, then wait!!

does too.nothing wrong with smart casuals. They're saying anything that looks like trackies can't be smart casual, even if they do look smart.

We all know possibly that they are hoping to attract a more 'civilised' clientele ... however, someone in pair of designer trousers is just as likely to smash you over the head with a bottle as designer trainers wearers. Or are they .. perhaps wouldn't wish to mark their trousers ? Think perhaps during the day looking for business people at work who will spend more on their expense accounts? The group ( ? and Jones ?) must have spent lots of cash surveying this issue on dress code. Wonder how the other pubs in their chain survive ? Would be interesting to get their point of view on this question. Do they have a 'warning' on the door before you enter? as sure Mez and Co. were embarrased too by their expultion from these premises, must have made you feel lower than low, eh ? |
