Punch Taverns are homophobic - Official ! (Allegedly!)

Civil servant by any chance?

Not me either! I work for the rail industry issuing licences to Signalling and Telecoms Engineers.

No, external agency. I was however working within the civil service initially for Criminal Justice IT (CJIT) and latterly for OCJR (Office for Criminal Justice Reform) at the Home Office.

This meant that if I wasn't at the Home Office (two days per fortnight) I was visiting a Police HQ, CPS HQ, Crown Court, Youth Offending Team etc around the North and the Midlands.

Hence my familiarity with lots of pubs in lots of different places.

You need a lot of beer to work with the Civil Service on a regular basis.

Project boards, Change Programme Boards, Working Groups, Steering Groups, Committees - They're across the piece, down to the coalface and at the close of play just to make sure that if we're wearing two hats we're all singing from the same hymnsheet and getting more bangs for our buck. Grrrrrrr, excuse me while I choke

The pub is a short walk from my office and I have been there several times without finding the place in any way discriminatory. An isolated incident involving one idiot me thinks.

I've been a couple of times and found it to be a pleasant enough pub without really standing out from it's peers. Never seen any trouble though.
