Quirky World: Vicar put his foot in it and lands a ban from wine bar

Britain: A vicar stopped from going in to a wine bar on Easter Sunday because he was wearing his trademark sandals hopes to return because they “do great mojitos”.

The Rev Andrew Dotchin said he had been to a beer festival to celebrate “that Christ had risen” after conducting six church services when he was turned away from The Wine Bar in Ipswich town centre for health and safety reasons.

Despite assuring the doorman to “trust me, I’m a vicar”, the 59-year-old real ale fan was forced to change his plan and go to Vodka Revolution to finish his night.
