that is what all the fuss is about, they DIDNT ask and then started a thread dissing the place !!

You read it properly again then - GG didn't start a thread DISSING. There is more positive than negative in the post. Here, read it again:

sorry to compain but it was the only moan? of the night...nice pub though.

Only one moan - 3 good points: nice pub, decent food and drink. 3 pros and one con. OK if you think that's dissing.I think it's constructive criticism which can be used to avoid any future problems. Maybe the point could have been brought direct to the management but how many other threads have there ever been on AccyWeb criticising something, anything? Plenty. Also, how many people have been there, grumbled to themselves and done nothing apart from deciding never to go there again - but had they seen this thread and seen a positive response may have decided to give it another go?

No-one has really condemned the Oaklea, just brought up one point which could possibly be got round as has been pointed out. Maybe even a sentence on a booking form to the effect to avoid any future problems. Not difficult but surely preferable to people moaning and grumbling to themselves and going elsewhere instead in future.
