A Glasgow bar who were forced to kick customers out after they refused to comply with test and trace has been praised by Taggart star Colin McCredie.
The Thornwood Bar, on Dumbarton Road, told how the covidiots claimed they did not have any phone numbers or email addresses when they visited on Tuesday.
The hardworking team swiftly gave them the boot in a bid to keep their staff and other punters safe before sharing the startling situation on social media.
They wrote: “At least we’ve got the off sales ready to go when we collectively **** this right up eh! Shakes head.
“We asked our first customers of post lockdown to leave yesterday for refusing to cooperate fully with test and trace.
“Not got time for shambling when lives and livelihoods count.”
The bar won high praise from Twitter users who hailed them for their efforts including Scots actor Colin McCredie.
He wrote: “Thornwood is a brilliant and safe place to have a drink.”
Another social media user added: “I’ve not been in your bar but I was quoting you as a good example of a pub that seems to be doing it right going by your tweets.
“Good on you asking someone to leave if they’re not complying.”
A third wrote: “Well done you guys! I feel for you that because of irresponsible nutcases you have been forced into taking this action.”
And another said: “Well done you. You’ve got a solid group of customers who like the steps you’ve taken and will back you all the way.”
Pubs across Scotland remain on high alert following a coronavirus cluster outbreak in Aberdeen.
The city has been put back into stricter lockdown with all pubs, restaurants and hospitality venues closed down for the next week.
It comes after 32 positive Covid-19 cases were linked back to the Hawthorn Bar after an infected customer visited last weekend.
NHS Grampian yesterday announced that a total of 54 cases across the city were connected back to the original cluster.
A list of 28 venues where customers may also have been in close contact with a positive case has been released.
