You think that water companies should be able to refuse to provide their services to anyone for any reason?

 

they are not the same kind of company, there are different rules for different businesses, there are probably many legal differences between running a hotel and running a B&B. These probably came up in the case and the judge just decided one way, another judge could decide another way.

I wouldnt have dared. She had a fearsome frying pan/rolling pin combination for "drunkards and 'ooligans!" as someone found out when they rolled in at 3am reeking of beer.

Other countries don't care about things like this!

 

Won't even let mixed couples in many hotels unless their married in some countries! (Never mind gay people!)

Im not sure that the use of the word hotel would legally make it a hotel rather than a B&B. There are probably legal definitions for these purposes.
