The more I love animals

Rant starting

Last night I enlisted the help of a friend to go for a beer and debate
this
job quandary I find myself in...

We were about to go when this woman and her partner came in with a woman
who
obviously had Down's syndrome and was upset, the lady said she was
wandering
along the road alone and said something about going to a weight watchers
meeting at a church with glass doors but the taxi driver chucked her out
(One
nasty piece of work). Well the barstaff said they couldn't do much because
if
the police are called from a pub, it gets noted and it could cost the
landlord and landlady their licence so they have been told by the landlady
not to unless it's a matter of life and death.

At this point, the partner (second nasty piece of work) starts to insist
they
go home and somehow I ended up saying "I'll call the police from my phone"
so
me and Chris wait with the woman for the police to turn up. Surprisingly
they
were very quick and very kind and managed to persuade her to open her
handbag
(we had tried) so they could find out where she lived

The third nasty piece of work was the landlady, Barbara, she came in,
demanded to know what this was all about and exploded at me asking why I
got
involved , why I didn't (these are her words) "Just chuck her out and
forget
about it" and telling me if she lost her licence I was barred, she then
got
on the phone and at the top of her voice, told someone (I assume it was
the
landlord) what was going on, punctuated with such charming comments as
"that
silly b***h Lesley" then she sat behind the bar scowling at me

I checked with the police when they were going and they had a word with
her.
Yes, if the police get called to a pub three times it gets looked into but
something like this is not counted against the pub. I mean what could I
do?
Bow Road is not safe, it's a very busy road (we count it a quiet week if
there isn't at least one minor collision- we've even had someone die in
our
front garden) and some of the side streets I'd hesitate going down myself
at
night....

What is wrong with people?

Damned if I know-- these ones, anyway. Adrian's right, time to find another
pub for your local snort. I wouldn't worry about being barred from that
joint. You've been thrown out of better places than that!

I very much doubt I have been barred- they're trying to sell the place and I
am quite pally with the guy who is planning to buy it.(And his mum, she has
one of those cat carrier on wheels things and thinks nothing of popping the
cat in there and going to the shops with one of her three owners- she takes
them to the supermarket to chose their own food- spoilt or what?!). I just
have no plans to go in there if she's in there then I shall sample another
local hostelry

Plenty and she's always moaning how since the smoking ban they're losing
trade. Trouble is, I get on very well with her husband and it's usually a
nice place but she's always had a bad attitude and just lately she's been
getting worse

It's not a matter of the "right thing"- it's what anybody should have done

they have the remotest claim to being a member of the Human race (By that

What's wrong with people is that they are, with very few exceptions,
egotistical, self-centered, ignorant, evil, stupid *******s.

Thank you for being one of the few exceptions, and doing the right thing.
That's what I like about this group - so very many of the few exceptions
gather right here.

I can't imagine how calling the police for help over something of this sort
would count against them.

For that matter, you would think having the police to deal with other pub
related problems before they become huge incidents would be far better than
waiting to call them once things escalate.

They are selfish.

Time to find another pub and to make sure the folk running
the pub you are leaving know why.

It was a justified rant.
