A 76-year-old said he was ‘shell-shocked’ at allegedly being refused entry to a pub for being ‘too old’.

Anthony Severs, from Vauxhall in Liverpool, said he was out in Mathew Street on the evening of Monday, July 25 when he decided to have a pint at Irish bar McCooley’s.

The pensioner, who has a daughter and grandchildren, said: ‘I’d just come out of The Grapes – it was raining and I’d been soaked.

‘I don’t live far from town and without the buses – due to the ongoing Arriva strike – I was walking home.

‘But because it was raining, I thought I’d go into McCooley’s just to dry off and have a drink.

I don't think I'm a conspiracy theorist?

'2 men walk into a bar

Or did they?'

 

Anyway that was my attempt of a joke. 

I'm sure this chap will get all the free beer he can imagine if you look deeper into it, this article is from 'The Liverpool Echo'

You wont get the full news from international media, only the small guys on the ground in the place where this all happened.

That's nice, but sad. We're so used to bad shit happening all the time that when someone is being rude to an old guy, someone offers to buy him a beer. And it makes the news all over

It's more than likely a 'firm' problem and connected to English football.
