I was wearing epaulettes, but to no consequence. I fly for a living, have done so for 32 years now; it's my present company uniform and I was on duty. No-one objected or even mentioned it. If they had, as a paying visitor I would have told them where to stick the club's unwritten rules, as any reasonable person would, especially in the circumstances.
I repeat again - the issue on the day was that my passenger strongly objected to the way he was treated on arrival. He didn't go to use the club or its facilities (nor did I), merely to get to a further destination.
Edit: I didn't steal the telly and I didn't bring any children along.
