Was in Cassidy ' s in Westmoreland Street with some friends , we were a large group of 8 or so . Just playing some Jenga and horsing down pints but not being overly obnoxious . One of my friends blew out the candle on the table , because it was fairly distracting trying to talk to people and there wasn ' t any need to have it lit . Didn ' t think it was a big deal . A guy came over , relit the candles and went off . We moved it and then another member of the group blew it out . Same guy came over to re light it , we politely asked ' Hi do you mind not lighting it ? it ' s a bit distracting . ' He said ' It ' s staying on '. We asked why and he said ' Well I ' m the owner of the pub , if you don ' t like it , you can fuck off '. This was after 8 of us had about 3 pints each in the space of an hour or two . If he would have explained it like ' I ' m trying to create an atmosphere , so we use candles ' or anything remotely civil or logical , we would have said fair enough . He was just so cuntish about it though . I ' m sure our seats were filled about 3 seconds after we left though . Place is always jammed .
