With permanent marker?!

Takes more than good scrub to get it off.

Maybe i've been using imported permanent markers from Hong Kong.

This goes on throughout the night. Once the've been inside they also start to exit the front door, so that the doorman assumes he's already admitted them, and therefore feels compelled to let them back in. Ultimately you end up with a bunch of drunk 15 year olds, only a few of which have paid to come in, and none of them have been served (or even paid for a soft drink), pissing off your real customers.

The only solution would be to assign addition security at the read door, and a monitor in each toilet... which would cost umm £150 a night assuming it could even be arranged.

It simply isn't worth it.

So stop playing the mission impossible & James Bond themes and surely this will stop!

Jokes aside hat is very cunning.

So much so that you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox.

i did try and warn underage music fans to not drink or they'd ruin their chance to get into the moorings again and bands would ban them from gigs.... but some folk are too selfish to care.

its a reasonable policy though. expecially the bit about 17 year olds with friends who are 18 being alowd in.
just shows was a nice pub you are. most places would just go totally over 18s only.

The only thing I could suggest would be going towards what the Cathouse does - you have to go to find someone who will give you a wristband if you show them valid ID - otherwise you can't get served at the bar. Obviously anyone that looks old enough wouldn't need one, but anyone in the vague area of 16-25 would have to have one.

But no, it seems the problem is more than just people trying to buy alcohol from the bar, so in that respect no amount of wristband enforcement would change things.

Wristbands are also a needless expense, I say that Flash's idea above is very good (and generous) and just have the back door made into "strictly for staff/band use"

i say we make it a sport. the kids can fight onstage for beer.

They'd have to use the bog water too as you don't get much water out of the taps.

You are thinking of the other back door, the one behind the bar that is for staff and bands only. The problem door is the main fire exit (along side the stage and gents toilet), which as it's THE MAIN FIRE EXIT, and must be easy to open. This leads directly onto the lane that runs up the side of the bar.

Previously some underagers tried stashing a carryout beside the door, but I found it and drank it. Hence their latest tatic.
