Bacardi And Coke Please Myfanwy
POLICE are investigating the new landlord of a former gay-friendly pub after a sign went up outside saying: "Faggots and mince not on the menu!".
Locals think Ady Taylor, 53, wants to change the clientele of the Anchor and Hope in Trowbridge, Wilts, after taking over from married gay tenants John and Lee Williams.
They reported Mr Taylor. John, 37, said: "I couldn't believe it." Mr Taylor denied putting up the sign and blamed builders.
So, an attempt at a joke that went wrong? Testing the water to see what could be got away with? A first shot in a campaign which could only lead to a pyrrhic victory. I mean, upsetting your clientele before you've even opened...what would Alan Sugar say?More importantly, what do you say?
The builders denied all knowledge of the sign.

A tongue twister for the 21st century?

That last comment of yours was a bugger to say out loud.

I think that using the phrase 'catholic priests are paedophiles' is just a shameless attempt to boost the number of hits the site gets. The last time 'catholic priests are paedophiles' was mentioned there were loads of extra hits. It just makes you wonder how many people are putting 'catholic priests are paedophiles' into Google...

I didn't realise we were all that politically correct at cleverthingies, that no-one dares agree or deny anything mentioned in the article.
Perhaps this is a good time to mention once more that catholic priests are paedophiles.
