Tourettes is it a rcognised disability

[smileymikey]

My wives school broke up today and the staff got together for a drink at a Weatherspoons. One of the staff members suffers from Tourettes and whilst not screaming motherfker at the top of her voice. She does suffer short episodes at conversation noise levels. The other staff do help her in that someone will go to the loo or bar with her just to explain things should she swear. She was asked to leave by the manager and despite explaining the situation still had to go. Noise levels in the pub were pretty high. Are they allowed to kick someone out because of a medical condition.As I said she's not loud or aggressive and doesn't have any problems working at a school?

I f*****g wonder who knows the f*****g answer to this f*****g question

Thanks for the colourful and well intentioned replies she's a lovely girl and was pretty upset by it all. I think her pupils, view having a teaching assistant with Tourettes as a very special gift from god lol

Thrown out of a pub for swearing at conversation level? The cretin who expelled her will be apoplectic when they discover that people are consuming alcohol on the premises too!

I'd be willing to bet this is not a real story, but a what if pretending to be a true story

I'd like to take that bet!

Op I think a quiet word with the manager or brewery if not well received ought to suffice, no need to make a huge deal out of it.

Yep - if Wetherspoons start kicking people out for swearing then they’ll lose half their customer base very quickly ...

Its absolutely true. The day I think the best way of spending a quiet Thursday evening is trolling the legal section of a car website with tourettes related anecdotes......is quite frankly the day I give up on life!

As a previous poster has suggested, swearing at a conversational level in a crowded pub in Bridgwater. Is to be frank unlikely to put off the string quartet playing in the corner

A simple solution then,

They just need to 'Prove' that they have TS (registered disability = name on a register) - which will mean they can stay in a pub or even a library.

On the other side of the coin, those that do not have it and are just loud and rowdy, can be asked to leave on genuine merit.

Took my wife to the doctors because I thought she had Tourettes. Turns out she doesn't have it and I really am a c**k and I should f**k off.....

[Hugo a Gogo]

most people with Tourette's don't swear, they make other kind of noises, squeaks or coughs or just twitches and blinks

[smileymikey]

Just to tidy up the thread. Weatherspoons have looked into it and got back to me. Tourettes wasn't the issue, general big arsery was! In fairness they have handled it properly.
