ok here goes:

About 10 years ago i walked into a pub with a friend when i was on holiday. It was busy especially for a daytime. I walked up to the bar and ordered 2 1/2's of lager. The whole pub went quiet. The barman served me and when he gave me my change he told me he couldnt refuse to serve me but it would be better if we drank up and left. Which we did. When we were leaving i shouted thank you and bye. Just like i do over here. The noise level went back up.

Where were we: Belfast

Turned out we were in a Catholic pub in the centre of Belfast. An english voice in an irish pub. If i'd walked into a protestant pub - i'd have been ok.

Is that being racist? Would i have had a case against the pub for being 'advised to leave'?

By the way accyjay - no i dont think you are
