| I know nothing about this place but this phrase caught my eye... "Me and me husband went for a very short holiday to Reading." Apart from the fact that the grammar calls into question the literacy of the writer, who the hell goes on holiday to Reading? You deserve all you get and probably more. murgatroyd - 13 May 2012 22:42 |
| Like the commentator below I'd have to agree this venue is a festering dung-hole with the clientèle to match. I'd wager the only reasons it stays open are the late licence and the fact the local Law know the majority of Reading's lowlifes are housed under one roof! Waitrose_Ernie - 19 Apr 2012 13:31 |
| Give it a wide berth! Me and me husband went for a very short holiday to Reading. After the dinner we wanted to drink a pint of beer, i ordered, and i paid for it, but we couldn't finish it. He went to the toilet and on the way there, he asked the member of the security staff: where is the toilet? The guy grabbed his neck, and kicked him out. It took me half an hour to find him... :((( This is just messed up our great weekend. (i did complain, but still very bad experience) We are planning to visit England again, but definitely NOT the Purple Turtle. ircsi - 26 Mar 2012 12:15 |
