...or not.

I work at a hotel at the weekends that can be booked out for parties, weddings ect to use the bar and function room for the evening and such, im sure your all familiar with the sort.

Tonight was a wedding just as usual and i was working with the usual staff. The group in seemed quite good drinkers (about a 100) and we were busy all night till around half 11.

Then it kicked off.

No idea what sparked it, but there was a sudden 30 man brawl (though saying that there were a good few women taking part.) Punches thrown, glasses thrown. I had never seen anything like it. The place was a mess.Random people walking around with blood pouring from there heads. Thing is...some of these people were well in there 60's too! One bloke wandered towards us, head bleading, shirt off, firing a slurry of words at us before running after somone else. I had never seen anything like it.

One of the fire doors had been completely smashed. The public phone ripped off the wall. Chairs broken, tables turned. All while this was happening the police had been called...which it took them a half hour to arrive...and then only FOUR turned up! Luckily it had calmed down a little. But the place was a mess.

So a 6 hour shift turned into a 9 hour one as us bar staff helped clean up the mess that had been left.

Alcohol (and the roughness of some of these people) was really on show tonight.

Gotta feel sorry for the Wedding couple, what a night to remember.

Apparently though within the family this sort of thing is regular, so they had a feeling it might kick off. Nice of them to let us know....

What a bloody night

Weddings and funerals.

Fights are guaranteed. You should have seen the bother at my Grans funeral. Having said that, she was the one who instigated it.

These things always seem to happen at family do's. I've been caught up in fights at a wedding and an 18th birthday party, luckily they were both my mates and not my family.

Aye. Im familiar with the odd family tiff and does like this, the odd scuffle. But a 30 man brawl in a rather posh hotel function room, with blood, glass and all...taking it a little far.

Im back at work tonight again, looking forward to that.
