In these days of political correctness, Dave Litton has brought our attention to what must be one of the daftest things I have heard for a very long time.
Last Saturday the 'Slubbing Billys' morris dancing troupe from Slaithwaite were on tour in Durham when they visited 'The Swan and 3 Cygnets'. They were actually dancing in the nearby Market Place and fancied a beer so they resorted to the nearby pub, owned by Sam Smiths for a quick wet. Two of the group were served, but when two of their female members tried to get served they were asked, in no uncertain terms to leave, as the bells on their toes were in contravention of the brewery's no music policy.
Luckily the group managed a pint at a pub round the corner. Surprisingly, no one at 'The Swan' was available for comment.
So, if you are around the Sam Smiths pubs of Durham, and start to rattle your change or your mobile goes off you could find yourself out in the street, be warned !!
