Was that in London?

Yes in London. And it is true that some places would not accommodate Black, Irish or Dogs.

I remember my Father telling me this years ago. He had come over to England during the war, working in the fire service. Oddly enough I noticed something similar when I lived in Germany in the Eighties. Many pubs and clubs had a ‘No Turks, No Soldiers’ policy.

Yep - they used to have cards in the window saying just that. Can you imagine that now!

No doubt there are plenty of things going on now that will cause hand-wringing in the future. Here and in other countries too.
There are always wonderful things alongside shameful things.
And the shameful things should temper the perspective on the wonderful, but not remove the right to celebrate the best of what our past history and heritage has to offer.
No human, culture, society or country is perfect. We all make choices, and we all make mistakes.
