    i was in a pub recently where two young travellers came in for a pint,the two were respectable and behaved like everyone else in the pub but i couldnt help overhear peoples comments about not wanting them there and feeling uncomfortable,about an hour later when they went up to get another pint they were asked to leave,i no management reverves the right to refuse anyone but it wasnt half obvious why they were told to leave...i was in the pub also and found no problem,they were louder than most by a long way,but hey its a pub not a library!ive often heard stories of travellers fighting and all that stuff and am just wondering is it right to tell them to leave for no reason?i mean there was nothing to suggest they were going to start trouble.

    no it's not fair...


    it's also not fair when their mates then join them and before you know it there's about 20 of them thrashing the pub.
    If they want to get served without any hassle then learn to behave in a civilized manner.
