well i ask you, i went out for lunch today with entwisi & sarah, we decided to try the CALDER.....we walked in all confident & looking forward to enjoying our lunch .......only to be told that we could not stay (WHAT I THOUGHT)....sorry the waiter said but you can't come in here with trakkie's on so i looked at entwisi stupidly....then down at his trousers & walked out with him .honest i didn't realize he had trakkies on , so off we went to the NAKED PLATE & had a great lunch , we were all flabbergasted,i certainly can tell you i will never go in there again .

id expect that from a nightclub but not a pub! thats bad!

i wouldn't care he looked quite smart they are cream pants & were immaculate even though he'd been walking up the coppice.
stupid idea if you ask me they will loose a lot of custom with that & not letting children in for meals either.

Imagine turning away customers so soon after openeing for business. They must be making a lot of money to be able to do that. Would they turn away a football player from Rovers if he had entered in a track suit?

sounds like they have lost some good customers... its not good for customer relations is it...ITS THEIR LOSS!

I toyed with the idea of trying this place when I was down but now I think I will give it a miss. I believe that your money should be good in any establishment and providing you are presentable regardless of the attire you should be able to buy a meal and have a drink or two.

There was a disabled woman in the Observer who had the same treatment the other week.

Never have lunch with Chavs and hoodies like Sarah and Entwisi, is the moral here I think.

Mick · 10-02-2006, 01:02

Garinda
I dont think it was Sarah or Entwisi that was the problem you should have seen the shoes mez was wearing hehe

i will keep my head down for a while

sarah · 10-02-2006, 01:57

Ooooh MIck, you're a braveboy. I suspect you're going to be in a spot of bother now. Good luck with that.

garinda · 10-02-2006, 02:14

She's not been out in her slippers again?

chav1 · 10-02-2006, 02:27

no trackies allowed...?

well thats 90% of accringtons population not getting served

mez · 10-02-2006, 08:01

well at least i had shoes on .....not trainers !!!!!

Neil · 10-02-2006, 08:17

It sounds like a good idea to me. At least you will be able to enjoy a meal without the likes of Ian lowering the tone of the place

The thing was I was only wearing them because the scar from my appendix op has become inflamed so I can't wear jeans as it aggravates it. As Mez said, they are 'smart' tracksuit bottoms, no garish labels or anything. In fact they are closer to rohan style than a tracksuit. Also, I was in there about a fortnight ago wearing exactly the same trousers and was served without question by the manager

I can understand them wanting to have a dress code in the evening but as it stands, I was dressed reasonably smartly and couldn't go in yet if I was in working jeans full of god knows what I'd be allowed in! It wasn't like we looked like rabble rousers now did we?
