BarredI've only ever been barred from one pub, the "Fort St George in England" on Midsummer Common in Cambridge.*
I was part of a group caught drunkenly trying to add our names in biro to a historic signed cricket bat. I still have the pint glass I was holding as I was chucked out.
Where have you been banned from?
*All pubs in Cambridge have posh names like this. 25% fact

The Barge, GrimsbyI was temporarily barred from the Barge in Grimsby for starting a fight club outside after hours. It was all in good fun and if anything, brought people together. Closing time would come and the cheap boxing gloves would come out and whoever fancied a go would step inside the ring - which was really only a raised piece of circular pavement. It never got out of hand, and everyone loved it. People trying to get a bus home or a takeout at kicking out time would see what was happening and insist on having a go with their mates. Some crazy guy was intent on getting a bit more serious and wanted to raise an army of youths who knew how to handle themselves. Still I can't have a go, the manager found out and barred me and my friend but the crazy old guy had his persuasive ways and got us back in and even got some of the bar staff involved. It never lasted long, but I will never forget it. It's just sad that I had to break the first 2 rules of fight club to tell you all.
