Hi, before I get started I think that the majority of pub/club bounbers do a fantastic job & certainly not one that most people would consider risking, so all respect to you for that! :zee:
I got beaten up 2yrs ago on Christmas eve at my local club by a guy I had never seen before, I was talking to a friend & he waled up to me & grapped my drink, I didn't let go and I ended up a bit of a mess. 2 of the bouncers were stood less than 2metres away & can't have seen what was happening, but after a few well placed hits & with the help óf one of my mates we managed to get to them, the guy was told to go home & the bouncers never spoke to me, I was too scared to leave & was too messed up to stay. When I did go outside I found a policeman who, when I tried to report it askd me how much I had had to drink & what had I done to start it...
at the time I was also house sharing with a bouncer who had just recived gis licence but had only been out of hospital 6mths after being sectioned for serious aggrivated assault & mulitpersonality disorder...
so my question is....who regulates who gets a license & do you have regular 'refresher' courses?
