AC - DC post #46..... I happen to be interested in old Pinball tables.....let's say you share the interest........
I'd give you short shrift if you wandered into my lounge with a major pintable dealer, made yourselves comfortable and asked me to put the kettle on
OTOH. had I put a note on the" pinball gazette "........."fellow enthusiasts welcome to come and view my machine" Then you'd rightly expect to be welcomed......but the Brew's still a courtesy extended by me, not a right for you to demand.
SAS has summed it up well, except I'd say that if your face fits, you just become another one of the "clique "......which is, essentially, what a club is........a group of like-minded individuals pooling resources for
their common good.
Note also, Drambuster has said he'll put some suggestions to the WW Committee , to address the percieved unfriendliness to land-bound visitors.
