I WAS shocked to read the article on November 1 on the attitude of the landlord at the Lettered Board to having been given three parking tickets.

I was under the assumption that a licence was only issued to a landlord on the agreement he would serve anyone who was of reasonable disposition during opening hours. When Bob Ogier came into the pub it was not as a traffic warden but as a local resident. The landlord, by threatening to "chuck him out" if he came in, surely forfeited his right to a licence.

Let's fully support our traffic warden for having the guts to do his job and not be servile to a landlord. The latter has made it quite clear that hard-working and honest folk are not welcome in his pub.
