'Lock-in' takes on new meaning at Kelways.
We're getting reports in-fighting has broken out among staff at The Kelways Inn over who exactly locked up last night. It's emerged a customer was still in the pub in the early hours of this morning when the lights were switched off and the external doors were all bolted shut.
The local, in his late 30s, had to sleep on the sofa and was let out at half past seven this morning by the cleaner (pictured).
"I think it's disgusting" said Ferrero Jim, a customer from Wearne, "I've been trying to sleep in that pub for years."
Sources close to Kelways claim the landlord's blaming the landlady and she's blaming the chef. It comes after a similar incident back in the 1990s at The Rose and Crown when the landlady there 'checked around' and completely missed one of her customers under a table.
- and we understand The Langport Arms has already made a complaint about the incident to the Trading Standards Office.
"The Kelways Inn is not a registered boarding house" said the manager, "and by allowing customers to stay over they are taking away our trade...next thing you know they'll be putting Black Forest Gateau on the menu...I think it's a disgrace."
There are no further details at present.
