Isle of Misery now with worlds Most Miserable Pub

THE F-word is banned, calling someone a “pr!@#” is outlawed, and using the term “bastard” is equally a no-no. In fact, any swear word spoken aloud in this pub sees you barred.

Susan and Melvyn Wilkie, who own The Rum Puncehon in the town of Gravesend, Kent, in the UK, are unrepentant about their ban on the “loud use of bad language”. There are also no televisions in the pub.

“We get the odd group, perhaps people who haven’t been in before, who say ‘it’s a pub, isn’t it?’ but then this is our place and our rules,” Melvyn Wilkie, 60, told News Shopper.

“If they don’t like it they have the option to go elsewhere. It is a pub but it’s also my home and it’s licensed.”

Mr Wilkie explained the decision.

“I am allowing you to come and drink in my home and I have my rules — at your home you have your rules,” he said.

“Usually when you get swearing you have got trouble. If it’s curtailed and it’s nipped in the bud we don’t get any trouble and that’s why people come down to us.

“We wanted this to be a different place from the rest. I think it’s brought a lot of people out of the woodwork — older people perhaps who don’t want to hear that sort of stuff.”

Have to agree, round here bad language is used like punctuation.
