Briggsy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is Ronald Kingsnorth an alias for Ronnie Kray? If so, these "Europeans" were pushing their luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a heated argument, between a group of three tourist and some other customers, that the manager tried to break up. It's also explained in the article how the tourists got beat up. After the fact, the police scolded the club for being open after midnight, which was the announced closing time yesterday. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slipperylobster Posted March 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2015 Easy to see how keeping bars open at 3:30 am is a recipe for disaster...every single time. What do people do at that hour? How about just closing and letting people sleep. (not to mention it is a holiday and they were in violation). Midnight sounds about right, for closing the cash register... although I would agree that door should be locked tight by 1am. That is plenty night life....and people are already drunk enough. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the police where called and took them all away. It did not sound like the places where supposed to close at midnight just not to serve alcohol. Bet the European guys were either English or German more like English, pissed and in a fighting mood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
