I’m appalled to dis­cov­er that loc­al Wel­ling­ton sports estab­lish­ment the ‘Big Kumara’, home of more giant TVs than your loc­al Har­vey Nor­man, is will­ing to ban a will­ing drink­er because he’s “too old”.

Since when did age come between a bar and its lushes pat­rons? Are gone the days of drinks for all and cheer all round?

Let’s con­sider this care­fully. What has Mr. Nor­man Levido done oth­er than have slightly ques­tion­able taste in clothes and be older than 30? Noth­ing that I’m aware of.

If the Big Kumara (and The Estab­lish­ment) wants to ban people, how about giv­ing a little more evid­ence? Per­haps let the old bug­ger actu­ally pinch a bum before we go mak­ing assump­tions? Then, out into the street you old codger!
