'Family friendly' pub slammed after banning children, dogs, muddy boots, swearing and phones
A pub in Yorkshire has caused a stir after introducing a strict list of house rules and banning a number of everyday items.
Mobile phones, iPads, laptops, tablets and other transmission and reception devices are not allowed to be used inside the pub, which means anyone hoping to use the spot as a makeshift co-working location might want to look elsewhere. The signs states: "The ban includes receiving or sending texts, taking or viewing photographs, emailing, using games, apps, Google, Facebook Messenger, etc etc.
Responding to a comment which described the house rules as "oppressive", he added: "Fella behind the bar was perfectly friendly but you’d cross the road to Spotted Ox wouldn’t you? Saw child ban at another one in Rochdale last week & thought it specific to that place but seems not." While @hilton_ian commented: "Once made the mistake of calling into a Sam Smith's in Boston Spa, never again. I felt like a school kid being told off for checking the footy score on my phone. Supped up and promptly left."
