My email to Fullers who run the Flask, that guy was well out of line!:
Dear Sir
I was in attendance at The Flask this evening, 19th April 2011. I attend the Flask most Tuesday evenings as it is the weekly meeting place of a cycling group that I am a member of.
In the previous 2 years I have been to The Flask most Tuesdays, and I have never witnessed any type of poor behaviour from any of the customers.*
This evening, a customer sitting in the outside seating area at the front of the pub started becoming abusive and violent towards other customer (I understand they had a misunderstanding about a bench). The gentleman in question threw a number of objects, including an ashtray, a pepper mill, a glass bottle, and the entire contents of a pint glass, which drenched some other customers who were not involved.*
Once the pub staff arrived on the scene, they asked a number of people what had happened, and did their best to restore calm and resolve the situation. However, they did not ask the violent and abusive gentleman to leave the pub, and it appears that he continued to be served.*
In my view as a long standing regular of The Flask, I would hope that in future, any form of violence is not tolerated, and that customers who behave in this way are ejected from the premises.*
With kind regards
Simon Green
