5 Arrested in ossy.

Was it not in the Observer how they were banning a lot of the old customers? I have read something recently and as we know the bad uns don't give in that easily!!!

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

wonder if those 5 have been banned.:rolleyes:

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

Yes I wonder:eek:

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

what ever happened to the pubwatch idea
these yobs just make it hard work for decent couples
to go out for a drink no wonder we stay at home more nowadays :mad:

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

Pubwatch is a good idea but yobs like this have no regard for a rule that says they can't go in. If they can't get a drink their response as we have seen is to smash the place up. And yes your right Beechy this sort of behaviour does deter people from going out. At least you can have a drink and know your safe at home plus it is cheaper.

makes you wonder if its the travellers from ossy doesnt it, it wouldnt surprise me

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

they had the pubwatch thingy in colne... the one where you are banned from one them you are banned from all... one of the landladys ended up banned from her own pub!! lol

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

its been going over here for a few years now

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

Can't see it being the ones off the site as they generally have respect for other people. Maybe the ones from down Church or may not be travellers at all.

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

i know a few travellers and they are usually ok with you if you are ok with them.. in the area i was in the druggys kept away when the travellers were about...

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

The problem with the pub watch is some of them are so violent that if you are on a quiet night with just one person on it is hard to enforce. Believe me I always said they would get a drink then I would ring the police. No way was I going to risk getting glassed and knew half of them that were on the scheme wouldn't think twice!!!!

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

where did you work bernie?

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

Went in there about 6 months ago and it was mostly travellers who were in...needless to say I haven't been back........

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

New Brewery in Accrington that one is shut now but was a brilliant pub when I worked there. Then I worked at Rishton Con Club.

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

that was the clientele i was refering too. but being a diplomat i never named em.:D

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

Thats a new one for you:p

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

All too common, 2 of my sons were out in Rawtenstall at weekend (where there mum lives), a group of lads from the army spent all night trying to start a fight, and ended up starting with my lad outside, got themselves locked up, which I have to say, makes a change!

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

no wonder pubs are shutting down,people dont want to go out and get mixed up in idiots behaviour.shame because all most people want to do is go out for a quiet drink

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

its silly kids who cant take their beer!!

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

the story is here....
Pub Landlord Struck With Chair By Yobs (from Lancashire Telegraph)


and i thought it was kids!!!

this is a good way of showing the youngers how to behave....silly idiots

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

think thats putting it a bit mild panther, 5 hammering 1 is more than a silly kids to me, cowardly thugs morelike.:rolleyes: must say ta for the link, but reading it summat strikes me as odd, - "we know who is coming in" "everybody gets asked for ID" so how did the incident happen then?

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

You can't stop people like that Cashy, they just do what they want as this has proved:(

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

This smacks of thuggery tactics by the brewery, if the landlord is a security firm owner, and the police haven't been called, the chances are they take part of the law into thier own hands, why else would the normal thugs stop going in? not because a new landlord says so, i'll bet.

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

the upshot of all this will probably be = dont do it again please,our jails are full, leaving the landlord n the police as sick as parrots, and the thugs laughing with their new badge of honour.:rolleyes:

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

And the difference between the thugs breaking the law and anybody else doing it is?:confused:

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

Well i think the pub trade is going down in a lot of pub,s because of this sort of thing and this is why there is a lot of people are drinking at home i realy can,t blame them.

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

I hope your not calling all the people who frequent that pub.

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

No, just the element who are causing the trouble.:(

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

I can even remember it being a good pub but its always the minority what ruin a pubs reputation

Re: 5 Arrested in ossy.
 

if you read the whole thread ya woundn't ask that question.:rolleyes:
