I've a love/hate thing with Samuel Smith pubs. Good beer & prices, nice buildings (though often Disneyfied). But I can't use a laptop in one alone, they've kicked out gays for kissing, & bar staff have told me they're rotten to work for.

Didn't know that they had kicked out gay couples before. Was that a company action or just a homophobic landlord?
