A royalist County Durham tearoom owner told how she threw three women out after they refused to stand when the National Anthem was played. Anita Atkinson opened Royal Teas in Stanhope in time for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and to display some of her huge collection of memorabilia. The National Anthem is played at 15:00 BST and Ms Atkinson said she expected her customers to stand. So when three women refused to do so, she threw them out. Ms Atkinson said: "It's meant to be funny and it's a little quirky part of the tearoom that we have got. At 3 o'clock every day we play the national anthem and we expect people to stand. 'Coffee rubbish' "It tells you that in the legend on the menu. The whole thing is just a bit of British eccentricity. "But these three ladies vociferously refused to stand and made it known that they were anti-monarchist so god only knows why they came into the tearoom in the first place. So I threw them out." She said she believed the trio had been surprised to be thrown out. "They told me my coffee was rubbish but it is a tearoom so I don't care", she said. Ms Atkinson's collection of royal memorabilia runs to thousands of items. The toilets in the tearoom have been turned into thrones and there are cardboard cut-outs of members of the Royal Family along with many other pieces.
Woohoo Rebel has turned up!! All we need is Mind the Step and we've got another 10+ pages of boring irish ****e
Can't see Stereos post on my phone, but if he is posting bestiality pictures then he should be banned straight away. Where's Mickelback when you need him?
Supposedly the couple who ejected the gays from their b&b now get swamped with gay people booking rooms. So says Sam Axe.
It's their rooms they can refuse who they want It's her tea room she can serve crap coffees if she wants
Was at a Scouts show recently and they played the national anthem at the end. We all stood up and sang it with pride. Was marvellous.
They can serve who they like but quite frankly I'd have gone in, called them a bunch of jingoistic ****s, shat on their floor and then painted a picture of Oliver Cromwell on their windows with said ****.
Not really, if anything my comment made him not post. You bore me Jacky, stop ever trying to communicate with me
