Retired Beefeater 'ejected from pub for speaking German' [View all]

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/pubs/9027919/Retired-Beefeater-ejected-from-pub-for-speaking-German.html

Tom Sharp, 71, said he was talking to his half-German daughter in the Packhorse pub in the Peterborough village of Northborough when their conversation slipped into German.

Mr Sharp, who also served with the Royal Signals for 26 years during which he met his wife Anni in Germany, said the pub's landlady flew into a rage when she heard the language being used on Wednesday evening.

He claims she told him: "We are white, you are English so you speak English in my pub otherwise get out."
