Mad Dog Posted 20 August 2004 Posted 20 August 2004 City centre pubs have banned drinkers wearing Burberry clothes in a crack down on alcohol louts.A list of clothing brands worn by football hooligans and violent youths include the luxury label. It also found Stone Island, Aquascutum and Henri Lloyd to be among the yobs' preferred choice of clothing. Anyone wearing the brands will now be barred from the Parody and Varsity pubs in Leicester city centre. A spokeswoman for the pubs told the Leicester Mercury: "This is not necessarily aimed at football violence. "It is targeting a certain gang of young lads that have been causing concern in the area. "But if it works to exclude that football element, then so much the better." A police spokeswoman said well-known football hooligans had a particular dress code. Pc Karen Holdridge added: "These people are recognised as coming into the city centre day in, day out and causing trouble." A spokeswoman for Burberry - known for its high-quality coats, scarves and hats - said it had no comment to make. A spokesman for Henri Lloyd called the ban a "ridiculous prejudice". http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30400-13198917,00.html

Ricey Posted 20 August 2004 Posted 20 August 2004 This suprises me, although every person wearing burberry i have met is a w*nker that doesn't mean to say everyone who wears those clothes are hooligans, trouble makers or jobs. It is predjudice.
Sparky Posted 20 August 2004 Posted 20 August 2004 its not just burberry , stone island and henri lloyd banned as well , i got quite a lot of henri lloyd stuff , oh well just have to go somewhere else then
Ricey Posted 20 August 2004 Posted 20 August 2004 Im a willy puller am i? 13538[/snapback] No because I haven't met you.
TrickyTrev Posted 20 August 2004 Posted 20 August 2004 Although every person I have know who chooses to wear Burberry is an absaloute twat and I wouldn't want them drinking in my pub, I find it utterly ridiculous that you can bad people for 'being the type to commit a crime'. It is not a publicans right to choose what fashionspeople follow and it clearly is not the best way to deal with the problem. Its all a little pathetic really.
rotherhamfox Posted 21 August 2004 Posted 21 August 2004 I agree with you.................the towel has gotta go.
Steven Posted 21 August 2004 Posted 21 August 2004 Looks like ive hit a small problem. :laugh: 13629[/snapback] :: :: Had a good laugh seeing this and reading the caption.

davieG Posted 21 August 2004 Posted 21 August 2004 Looks like ive hit a small problem. :laugh: 13629[/snapback] Your only problems BM are that you are a fashion victim with too much money therefore an easy target. But I'm sure you look good in it B)
Guest Daniel Posted 21 August 2004 Posted 21 August 2004 Tell me about it! I couldnt beat an egg, i aint no threat to anyone!
Teeno Posted 21 August 2004 Posted 21 August 2004 What a joke, I aint got 1/2 the stuf of BM but I have a few Burberry and Henri lloyd clothes. I'm no holligan and I'm not one of these people who wear those awfull burberry shirts where it's nothing but the burberry pattern. Most burberry clothes I've got just have the pattern on the collar and stuff which I think looks really nice, but does this make me a holligan? What a load of bollocks.
