    Do you think this pub landlord is a bit of a Scrooge or do you agree that Christmas jumpers should be banned?

    Sign in pub window

    The owner of the Lion and Key in Hull, Alan Murphy has put up a sign in his pub window telling people not to wear Christmas jumpers or festive fancy dress after 8pm (20:00 GMT).

    He's done the same in his other two pubs, WH Hawkes and Walters.

    Alan told the Hull Daily Mail that they don't want to attract stag dos and office parties, because they can't accommodate large groups.
