I've only been to a nightclub twice.
This is because I grew up in lily-white Surrey, cafe au lait-coloured on the outside (but with lovely purple innards, honest). Oddly, every nightclub around was mysteriously "Members Only" when my brother and I turned up. Even the one called "Splinters", where, according to rumour, if the bouncers searched you for weapons and didn't find any, they lent you some.
One famous night, twelve of us went out to the slightly less violent nightclub - guess which 10 made it in and which two didn't. We stood around in the car park for a while until one of the bouncers came over, and told us to get out of the car park before he hit us. Um, OK. We ended up in McDonalds.
So I'm going to read each and every answer this week, just so's I know what I missed out on.

that this kind of stuff still went on. I'm trying to imagine a bouncer attempting this in Leeds - I expect the only thing "bouncing" would be their head on the pavement.

Basically, if you weren't white, they wouldn't let you in. So we didn't go in.
To be fair, this was something like twenty years ago, but even then it was unacceptable.

I'm in Staines (Wesside!!) so not too far from Surrey border. Mind you, I wouldn't trust the pubs in Staines, nevermind the clubs!! Chav-tastic!
