"Man wearing top that slightly resembles a football strip in a reasonably upmarket hotel who was refused service blames whole of Scotland".

That says everything really. :(

It bears no resemblance to any football top, and has the H4H charity logo emblazoned on it. Poor show.
 
They should call for a National vote and demand their own Help for Heroes charity division with Scottish colours only on all their merchandise and collect their own money for their own injured soldiers and build their own recovery centres, how dare Help for Heroes use the Union Jack on such merchandise to unify such a great cause :smirk:

How anyone could take or believe it could cause offence is beyond help IMO.

The place should get blackballed and everyone should blank the place, like we did with Browns here in Coventry who wouldn't serve some soldiers in uniform attending a funeral at Coventry Cathedral, that place suffered hugely and went up for for-sale soon afterwards!

Shame on the barman and the hotel owners for supporting his decision :mad:
 
All that was needed was a bit of commonsense. The top clearly shows its a H4H top, not a football/rugby top with a little H4H badge on the sleeve.

A computer says no response instead of THINKING. Stupidly naïve response from the hotel.
 
Is there any other links to the story bar the one from that rag ?

As I said earlier.
Dressed like that ,would the gentleman have been served in your own golf club bar.
He certainly would have been refused play on many golf courses under their dress rules.

Why is this being used as another anti Scots issue?

As the Scotsman who brought it up in the first place
 
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the decision not to serve him (and I can see both sides, incidentally) anyone who decides to blame an entire country for an incident in one pub in that country is a moron.

Agreed, if he'd of been wearing a shirt with any Charity on he'd of been refused service, complete non-story.

You mean like Sturgeon and Salmond did in the referendum, blaming 1 conservative government for all their woes?
Yes, morons would be fitting:)
 
Why do these stories get the rant brigade shouting - soldiers have been refused service in many pubs through the years and nobody gave a damn. What's changed. There's a pub on Dartmoor that will not serve you if your a member of the forces and that's been going on since the 80's. Pubs have the right to serve who the wish.

None story - move on.

Yes, I would as we allow them, but if you mean anywhere with a dress code that doesn't allow them, then some of the responsibility lies with the customer to check and some with the management of said places to train their Staff to ensure they don't end up with someone getting upset and blowing it out of all proportion.
