Subject: RE: Music festival. Roxby, North, Yorkshire.
Excuse me it is not that I was 'looking for something I wanted'. Do you seriously believe I would have talked my missus into coming, plus dog, had I known that dogs were not welcome?
I really do have better things to do with my time. Credit me please with some intelligence.
I merely scanned the website where I saw a post saying 'The landlord says Dogs are welcome.' I am not going to read through every post on every website I ever consulted. I have supported Tony Leonard before and been to many festivals where dogs are welcome. And I believe they are at Staithes even now.
Quite how the management align 'No dogs allowed ' with their massive sign saying the total opposite is quite beyond reasonable judgement. Would they then have refused a genuine hiker c/w dog who just turned up? Don't answer that - I feel I already know
The place was three quarters empty so just what difference our little party would have made, apart from adding entertainment (consult Tony Leonard on that one) I fail to grasp.
On arrival at the site I told Tony I would enquire at the pub if they would accept our company which he acquiesced with. The management said no. End of really.
Now put yourself in my shoes. We made the genuine mistake of turning up and had gone to some bother to do so, not least driving the 25 miles to support an old friend's do. We were summarily dismissed
If you are happy with the treatment we received that is your choice.
I thought it was pathetic quite frankly and not at all in keeping with what I would consider a kind and measured response to a polite request.
And life goes on. Roll on Whitby. Love to all. Louis Spence
