    Kiltie Banned

    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!!
