UK: Kiltie is banned ...........

[Warlock]

Just plain stupidity! The lad should start a campeign against said establishment. Maybe the public should meet the establishment half way, at another club!

[Kiltman]

There sure are a lot of uninformed, stupid folks out there. If a lady came in with no underwear on, what would happen? Seems to me that an unwarranted assumption was made.

By “unfortunate” flashings on the balcony, I assumed they didn’t know they were flashing people. You know they were up on the balcony and people below them were flashed accidentally as they looked up.

With a flashlight (or battery torch)?

I dunno about your kilts, but it's pretty darned dark under mine. They'd need a light to see much of anything unless I were being extremely careless.

I'd assume "flashing" meant drunken yobs lifting their kilts.

I completely agree with you Caradoc
At my brothers wedding one of my drunk cousins decided it would be a good idea to take a picture up my kilt. He got a shot of right around my knee then complete and utter darkness, its blacker than the Earl of hells waistcoat up there make no mistake, you would rarely if ever flash someone one floor down who was looking up, unless you are wearing a saranwrap kilt, or they have an realy powerful light shinning where it does not belong.

As a private business they may well be able to pick and choose but that does not exempt them from laws regarding discrimination, nor does it exempt them from being named and shamed.

Hitting them where it hurts in the pocket would be good. Alas I suspect that a boycott by kilted males in Newcastle is not going to do much as there wouldn't be enough of them to make a difference.

I was no incesned by this club making a silly and discriminatory rule that I emailed them on the pretence ( naughty, I know) of wanting to make a booking for a group. I was offered some concessionary entry fee and a queue-jump. I then emailed them again about wearing the kilt and they have emailed me this morning saying

"It is club policy not allow any males into the club with kilts on Im afraid so Yes it causes too many problems with other customers pulling kilts up etc so we do not allow any in".

This is appalling, but what can we do. I am tempted to go to the gutter press to expose (no pun intended !) their stupidness, but I probably will not.

SNAP! Alan, I considered doing something very much along the same lines, but came to the conclusion that I would simply be wasting my precious time. We all feel inscensed by this because we are all kilt-wearers, but many clubs have their dress codes. Some insist that you wear a tie, others ban the wearing of denim - I doubt, however, if any refuse entry to a female for the disgustingly short skirts so many of them wear!!
