An unfortunate incident in Canberra

E-mail sent.

Seems odd that a bar would deny entrance to a nice fellow in a kilt... It's not like it's unsanitary, otherwise, they would have to forbid women in skirts to enter. And that would make ladies night not very fun.....

Just sent a message. It is a shame we can't arrange to have the rabble visit them.

I am mad at this, I have sent an e-mail to register this

They probably figure that they're safe being all that way away in Australia...course we DO have a considerable representation in the Land Down Under...

No...I think they should get a fair trial and then be transported...back to England! No more sun, no more surfing, no more Australian Rules Football! No more Barry Humphries!

E-mail sent. This club is not a good ambassador for Australia which I thought was keen to promote itself as a progressive multi-racial, multi-culture society and lose its popular image as a country populated by deported English criminals and their descendants.

Perhaps the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) authorities can also be contacted?

Surely such discrimination must be actually illegal?

Just what I thought about saying in my message just now...no wonder they were transported far away from the Kilted Rabble

Done, it took me a while to write a polite but pointed note. Hopefully we'll see a response from them in one way or another. O'Neille

I'm not, my son has been barred from a Hobart pub because of his kilt. I went down there and took the owner to task, these guys don't care tho'.

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

aye! i can see what your talking about!
