The Crown, Birmingham

Just popped in for a quick pint at lunchtime, as a camera member of many years standing, I was disgusted by the prices, (even for Birmingham), and shocked at being totally ignored by rude staff, who refused to serve me.

When finally asked why they would not serve me, the reply was that I was wearing 'sportswear'. (A poloshirt which just happens to have an England badge on it!). So presumably it's ok to serve murderers and rapists, as one of the smokers outside confirmed he was on trail for, but not to serve someone who just happens to display a modest patriotism!

When asked to speak to the manager, I was told he was in India, says it all really. Crap flat lager, over priced beer and poor quality staff, don't waste your time!
