flymango Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Have you SEEN what a decent pair of rugby boots costs these days? I am wearing mine to the next restaurant I visit... And therein lies the issue ... style isn't measured in Rands and cents.
jmaccelari Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Right of admission and all that. They're quite entitled to turn people away if they don't want the business. Not much here, move on...
Wyatt Earp Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 And therein lies the issue ... style isn't measured in Rands and cents. So true, a Camry is not that cheap.
nonky Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I made a mayor's necklace from all my race medals....wear it to work on mondays I hope you INSIST that your colleagues address you as, "THE HONOURABLE ROUXTJIE" or "HIS EXCELLENCY ROUXTJIE" or, simply, "YOUR WORSHIP"
Wayne Potgieter Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 So...this has reared its ugly head again. https://m.facebook.com/526674185/activity/10152727637099186?ref=m_notif¬if_t=comment_mention&actorid=1321885126
HappyMartin Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Oh dear. Really annoys me. Strange how other places encourage cyclists and they take this attitude.
Grant M Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I've never heard of this.Strange. They do however reserve the right to turn anyone away.That is their right, but it's really stupid. Hopefully, the next owners will be more friendly.

nathrix Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 This establishment does have beautiful decorations, especially with the old school Vespas an-all and gives you the feeling of decadents if you walk in. Sadly that's where it stops. Service and food
Wyatt Earp Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Stunning place, super expensive.Incredible paraphernalia and good food. Very sexy hostesses.I can't see why they can't use the outside table for cyclists, but then again I can't see why cyclists would want to stop at such an upmarket expensive restaurant after a ride . The place has snobbism and image written all over it.I won't be back too soon, my pockets aren't deep enough. This is the bakery area, all the stuff in there including the imported drinks must be laced with gold. http://pics.campl.us/f/3/3eee6772f3159f71a21a787a7986c623.27619.jpg
DIPSLICK Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 i wish i had a business where i can pick and choose my customer base
Wyatt Earp Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 i wish i had a business where i can pick and choose my customer base I took a good look at all the stuff there.Lambretta scooters on display, photos from they heydays of racing in S.A. and some awesome boxing parephernalia .I get a feeling the owner is very well connected .I would love to own that place.The best I have ever seen.
Slowbee Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 must be a management thing. The one at the V&A was completely open to all riders on the day of the argus *lite* and in chatting to a few people they dont mind cyclists at all during the day as well. Only evenings they get a bit iffy on the dress code
eddy Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 If that was me I would start to take the kit off...see how they like that.Whilst at Varsity we used to got to stay in the very dodge Esplanade hotel in East London when down for the annual Buffalo rowing regatta. With delusions of grandeur their dress code required "Jacket and Tie" to be worn at dinner. So that is what we wore........

BLACKvoodoo Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Maybe the manager thought they were roadies and that's the reason they were turned away,Then it would make perfect sense.
