WHEN will the ex-patrons of Soda admit defeat? Vadims is no more! It's like people shopping at Poundstretcher, it closing down and Waitrose opening in its place, and demanding to know why they can't get three bottles of shampoo for a pound!

Door staff can't be expected to describe the type of person they are going to let in it's impossible. It's not the way you dress, as any pleb can go to a shop and spend £100 on a shirt and just think that all of a sudden they're stylish it ain't like that. But I think we can assume that if you have a dodgy set of highlights, stone-washed jeans and a tattoo on your forearm covered by a leather jacket, it might be an idea to start visiting working men's clubs instead.
