    Default Basil Fawlty-style meltdown

    I think Sam Smiths policy on swearing was raised earlier.

    probably a fear of what Mr Humphrey might do, Victorian values and all that.

    There is a comment beneath the article which suggests that it was Humph himself who shut the pub down, not an over-eager landlord.

    "It was the Owner of Samuel Smiths brewery Mr Smith who alledgedly had a Basil Fawlty meltdown not the landlord. Let's make that clear.

    He was in the pub corridor carrying out one of his spot checks and had been listening to a couple of customers that were using colourful language in what is generally a very well run and quiet pub.
    He then, allegedly, burst into the bar akin to monty pythons sketch of the Spanish Inquisition and asked everyone to leave stating his swearing policy being the reason for their ejection."
