Look down the notes for Pat's photograph of the pub door window -still common in parts of England.
The photo was taken during a travellers campaign to make such signs illegal - nowadays they take the form of "no Travellers served" hung on mirrors behind bars and quickly removed if a policeman or official looking individual comes in
