There is something you need to know about me. I'm not from Nottingham (nor Pattaya).Quote:

There is, equally, an impressively orchestrated and usually very effective PR campaign to make certain highly dubious characters look positively saintly.
[Though at least the compilers of the PG Weekly Report these days make it clear that it is, in the main, simply reproducing advertising flyers (about which we can all be naturally sceptical) rather than reporting uncritical puff pieces as fact. (Whenever I used to read one of the old-style pieces about the owner of said un-said establishment, it would remind me of the film critic Louella Parsons who, in any review of a movie featuring her employer's mistress, the actress Marion Davies, would always insert a line to the effect that "Marion was never lovelier"!)]
Thanks for allowing this to be shared with us kquill.
Its certainly given me a lot to think about regarding my own future plans.

'I was treated so rudely then by the staff (shifted out of my seat for a "Johnny Walker Black Label" customer, buying a drink for a boy who then shot off mid-drink to sit with another customer) that, having complained to no avail to the management, I vowed never to darken their doors again!' 31.05.2007
A tad inconsistent!
Not at all.
I have CONSISTENTLY boycotted the place since 1993 (a) having experienced the very poor service then, (b) reinforced by what I thereafter learned about the murkiness referred to earlier on in this posting.

The date is completely irrelevant to the inconsistency. However, Marsilius has now made it clear that his decision to avoid the bar was NOT 'as a result' of the 'dirt', as he'd previously stated. The 'dirt' just reinforced his decision not to frequent the bar. As a gentleman, I accept his explanation.
