topiary deals
Alas, I have never been barred from a pub, but have (in my long and beer soaked career) barred plenty of people from the pubs I have been running. In fact I barred 3 guys last Friday, 2 for skinning up and one guy for vomiting over absolutely everything in the toilets. Including himself, doors, the floor, mirrors, sinks, urinals and other customers.

However the best barring I ever did was when in the dim and distant past I was running a boat shaped pub in Leeds dealing with the best southern cretins Leeds Met and University could throw at me.

There was always the dodgy guy who knocks around at the begging of term selling low quality blow, but this one was particularly hard to catch dealing. Until a friend of one of the bar staff asked to have a word with me in the office. Okays, says I, and he produces a small bag of green weed and threw it on the table.

"What are you doing?" I asks preparing my best your barred sunshine voice.

"I bought that off s@#%*e, in your pub. It cost me a tenner"

This all intrigued me, I picked up the bag.

It was filled with torn up pieces of privet hedge from outside the pub entrance.

"You've got to bar him, I was after grass and got hedge. What are you going to do?"

So I did the only thing I could do. I told him to pick up his bag of hedge and bugger off. Your barred son. Trying to buy drugs in the pub was a barring offence, whereas selling bit of privet isn’t illegal anywhere. I don’t think….

Apologies for width and stench.
