    So it wasn't the KILT that was the problem, but assumed lack of underwear.
    The problem would have easily been fixed if he had been wearing underwear, I think he would then have helped the cause of kilts by making the management that not all kiltwearers are regimental flashers.

    I don't think this is discrimination unless it was lack of trousers rather than undies that was the issue.

    I agree with Graham. Although there is probably not a rampant flashing kiltie epidemic. This gent was dressed respectfully, hardly looks the type to be doing what was suggested.

    Just plain stupidity! The lad should start a campeign against said establishment. Maybe the public should meet the establishment half way, at another club!

    There sure are a lot of uninformed, stupid folks out there. If a lady came in with no underwear on, what would happen? Seems to me that an unwarranted assumption was made.

    By “unfortunate” flashings on the balcony, I assumed they didn’t know they were flashing people. You know they were up on the balcony and people below them were flashed accidentally as they looked up.

    With a flashlight (or battery torch)?

    I dunno about your kilts, but it's pretty darned dark under mine. They'd need a light to see much of anything unless I were being extremely careless.

    I'd assume "flashing" meant drunken yobs lifting their kilts.

    I completely agree with you Caradoc
    At my brothers wedding one of my drunk cousins decided it would be a good idea to take a picture up my kilt. He got a shot of right around my knee then complete and utter darkness, its blacker than the Earl of hells waistcoat up there make no mistake, you would rarely if ever flash someone one floor down who was looking up, unless you are wearing a saranwrap kilt, or they have an realy powerful light shinning where it does not belong.

    As a private business they may well be able to pick and choose but that does not exempt them from laws regarding discrimination, nor does it exempt them from being named and shamed.

    Hitting them where it hurts in the pocket would be good. Alas I suspect that a boycott by kilted males in Newcastle is not going to do much as there wouldn't be enough of them to make a difference.
