I'm with Dave on this one. We don't really know what happened, do we? There are some pubs in London which are gay orientated in which I would not be comfortable. Not because I disapprove, or worse, am fearful of anything, but it is just not my scene.
In the pubs I go to, the landlords have, from time to time, approached patrons asking them to shut up because they are spoiling the music for others. Not talking in the pub?! Whatever next? (On one occasion, the landlord suggested a patron should leave, for asking for a pint of
Stella. Quite right too!
)
I am a little concerned that things may not turn out as intended. If I were the landlord, I might have an event "For One Night Only- Poof-Petting Paradise!" But what happens if the pub is crowded with gays who refuse to buy anything and just snog? I don't think anyone would come out well from that situation.
Maybe they should have that sign they have in swimming baths: "No Running, No Pushing, No Petting, No Shouting, No Splashing" That should cover it.
