How do i report a pub for having a dodgy sky box? and will anything even get done about it?

Google this one Jack! A very recent court case ruled that any English pub has the right to use foreign suppliers to air any game they want providing they are paying a legitimate european company the rights to do so. My mates old fella was paying four thousand pound a month to air top games!!

Why don't we all report pubs for having dodgy PEOPLE in them instead?
Easiest ones to spot are always the drug dealers...

No, we don't do that. We wouldn't want to be talked about either, its just the nature of the game. Pubs contain dodgy things... especially foodstuffs.

What do you mean by dodgy? Using a home decoder card in a pub? Or something else? I think you can just ring them up. There may be a reward if they catch them at it.

Normal sky i think, im sure if you have sky in a pub it has to have that pint glass on the screen? im not 100% sure tho. but there was no pint glass and was watching sky sports in the bar.

Yes thats right. Commercial cards have the pint glass in the corner. I would check it again when a live match is on to make sure.

Speaking of pint glasses on screens, remember those lights on the older fruits where you had a pint glass for pub program and then the arcade program, etc? What was the bloody point?

I remember that too. They had a horse on too, for bookies. Fuck knows what difference it made.

Christ, just buy a drink! Seriously though, there's a good chance there just using polsat/arabsky/dodgyzeera, in this instance there's nothing you can do, a lot of these channels use the same stream, it's the same as how pubs can show 3pm kickoffs on a saturday and get away with it. It's completely legal.

Funny story actually, this young boy was rejected for not having id, he worked for sky and had went off on one for us showing a match on our tellies that didn't have the wee pint glass in the corner, he was so angered that he just didn't hear us mention the fact the game was on BBC1, must've mentioned this fact a good 8 or 9 times before the penny dropped.

Just being funny mate, are you not the boy who openly admits to not buying drinks in certain chains? If i'm wrong i apologise, didn't mean anything by it.

If im in a chain pub and can get away with it il always check the electrocoin ect for numbers before getting a drink. whats the point in bying a drink for a dead fruit when you can avoid this matter. if it the classic old mans pub with fruit machine facing the bar then i will ofcorse get a drink..
