Do they want to pay for their stay by offering to tarmac the driveway?

Not sure the average Pontins staff member is old enough to intimidate for that...

Seems odd that Public Houses can legally ban some customers but other businesses can't.

Any business is free to ban /bar an individual or individuals if there is good reason for each; it is unlawful - and could be criminal - to bar / ban a whole class of people.

From what I can see, had Pontins banned any number of named 'individuals' e.g. Sean O'Hara, Liam O'Hara, Seamus O'Hara and Finbar O'Hara on the basis of their being demonstrable trouble makers / thieves / whatever, rather than 'the O'Hara family', they'd have been alright.

Happy to be corrected on this, because I have no direct experience, but from a quick look at the situation this appears to be the case.

Perhaps the coloured Cobs grazing outside chalets and the disappearance of the big dipper has some bearing on this ?
