Some people are unhappy that they are not allowed to drink on their own in a bar in Altrincham.

    And what, pray tell, would be your reaction to such an inane rule?

      I’d rather do nothing than what they actually want.

          That if you normally go out single, avoiding a bar because it bans singles is just really not going to impact them. It’s better to complain than threaten them with a good time.

            You wanna spend your free time getting into arguments with bar staff about being let into a pub on your own?

              No. Not that that’s much worse than this online argument.
