No, they'll just use the quarter bottle of Spar's own-brand vodka that they just happen to have in their back-pocket/ rucksack - it would do the trick, unfortunately.

It's similar to the scam that I used to pull on the ABC Cinema in the early 1980s. A group of us would scrape together enough funds for 1 ticket. Then one of us would enter the cinema and pay to see a film, and sit next to the fire exit. Once the film started, and it was dark inside, he/she would sneak down the fire escape and open the fire door to admit the rest of us. Then we got even smarter and simply tied a wire round the push bar and ran it under the fire exit door... gaining entry to the cinema anytime we wanted - even when it was closed - just by tugging on the wire.

Needless to say we have the wire trick covered!

Oh the irony!!!

Wouldn't they notice a little bit of light from the back door if you did that in the cinema?

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.
Surely you could make it so the fire exit could not be used as a normal entrance/exit?

I honestly thought before this thread that that door was not for the use of customers asides in the case of a fire.

That's what I thought. Although I did see Inept 303 go in and out of it before.
We used the cellar when we played.

yeah, we use the cellar all the time when we play... I thought that door was band/staff only... I certainly never use it unless I'm playing.

you could alarm the door, even have it cut off all the sound a big flashing light come on. That would be pretty embarassing for anyone caught using it.
