The ECHR has found Pontins breached the 2010 Equality Act

Pontins has agreed to change its working practices after disclosure it
had a blacklist of Irish surnames used to screen out bookings for its
holiday parks.

Interesting from a legal point of veiw?

They must be mad. Lots of English with Irish surnames these days.



Pontin - what is the ethnic origin of that name?




Australian :0-)(

Seriously its Norman English It means Bridgeman or Bridges in Norman French
