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

Case of mistaken IDi've never been barred from anywhere (although i've been quite lucky at times) but one night last summer i was out in liverpool and went to a fairly popular club where i've often spent a saturday night. as i went to walk through the door the bouncer laid a hand on me and said "where do you think you're going? you're barred"
news to me so i responded with "what for?"
"you know what for, we barred you last night"
this was my salvation as i knew i hadn't been there the previous night, and although i normally refuse to argue with bouncers as they tend to kick your head in, i knew i had a case here. "i wasn't here last night mate"
the bouncer looks confused, his mate standing next to him starts giggling and goes "the lad last night didn't have a goatee, he could be right"
so the first bouncer tells me to wait and goes off to check with the bloke who seems to be in charge, comes back looking rather sheepish and waves me in
