Titty bar causes oral diarrhoea

27/04/09 - 1 comment

In the latest round of arguments some complete bollocks has been spewed forth by supposedly 'concerned' Exeter residents.

At the beginning of the month City Centre Manager John Harvey came forward saying he just didn't like the idea of a topless bar in the city, which is his opinion, and one he is entitled to.

Now however, the Rev Andrew Sails, of the Mint Methodist Church, says the introduction of the topless dancers is "dangerous and unwelcome" claiming that the club will become a den of criminals involved in human trafficking like the plot of the new Liam Neeson film Taken.

Even stranger, is the manager of the Walkabout bar in Fore Street, complaining about the noise it would create. Walkabout is one of the noisiest bars we've ever been in on a Friday night (with the exception of the Imperial of course), so maybe he's actually more concerned about profit margins than the greater good.

Meanwhile the owner of EX4, Ali Anvari, has had meetings with police over concerns about the bar, including the withdrawal of a buy-one-get-one-free promotion that the bar had been running (and one the Mint, further down the road, is still offering).

Our own survey, which you can still take part in, shows only 9% (3 out of 29 so far) of our readers would object to the bar opening the upper floor as a lap dancing club, with a resounding 91% in support of the expansion.

So far we still haven't heard any valid concerns as to why this club shouldn't get the green light.
