[walkerk]

Snagged by Google news clipping service:

A visiting Scotsman was denied entry to a prominent Canberra nightspot on Saturday night because he was wearing a kilt.

The author, publisher, or editor were very kind to the night club in that they didn't give a name. I guess it just goes to show the differences in journalism in different places. Our press revels in revealing the details. O'Neille

This is bad, very bad. I have left a message on the bar's answer machine.
If you want to contact them, it is North Bar, Canberra, marketing@icbmbar.com

Let's all sent complaints to this place, they MAY get the message.

From the news article:

"Mr Morrison said people often asked him if he had anything on under his kilt.

"I don't really answer."

Surely the bouncers weren't afraid of concealed weapons?

A guy isn't let into a bar and it makes the news? Slow news day.

It sounds like the bar employee's were quite rude.

It does bring back memories though of being refused entry to bars while in the military because we were ... military.

I guess the regulars were tired of having their a$$e$ handed to them every night and their girls leaving with us

Maybe the manager of the bar knew what was coming when he saw a man in a kilt
