I get this daft nonsense all the time, whether it’s a school friend or someone who know who I am, anyway some old fart questions me and says he’s a safe guard officer at the working men's club, blah blah blah, saying I haven’t been warned and it’s going on record, what does this actually mean? I said she was lying to him and that are findings aren’t true. he said I was welcome to phone him anytime to talk. I don’t get on well with the steward and stewardesses, because they are an oink of a family and his wife is as rough as a butchers dog, she never smiles, all she does is twiddle her thumbs and he’s a couch potato who sits on his backside doing nothing and the odd occasion comes to the bar.should I make a complaint about these people and the way I have been treated to the safe guard officer or let them get away with it?

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (21 February 2022): When do you get a chance to play snooker? The place sounds like an absolute hate-fest!!!
Seems more like a bare-knuckle fight club!
You seem like a sweet and loveable bloke.
You know I mean that sarcastically, right? All this, and you haven't been barred from their club???
Sir, you've given several reasons never to return to that club. You hate everyone there, and refer to them so affectionately as "oinks" (assuming this to be a pig reference); and you called somebody's wife "mean as a butcher's dog." Then there's an old-fart whose vocabulary is limited to blah-blah-blah! It's a place where nobody knows your name! (Taken from the lyrics of the American sitcom Cheers.)
If you've been accused of sexual-harassment, which you claim isn't true, then why on earth would you return to a place where you seem to loathe anything that moves and breathes???
Find another club!!!

Are you the same poster who posted about a week ago who's also having similar trouble at his work-place?
If you are, why not make an account instead of posting anonymously? It means if you need to post more than once, the regular aunties and uncles here can expand on the advice they've already given rather than just giving you the same old answers.

There are certainly other places where you can play snooker,and as for having a drink tbere must be literally dozens of other venues where the barmaids do not hate your guts.

Wow! What a lovely person you are! NOT!
You are angry, bitter, entitled and have zero respect for anyone. You refer to them as "some old fart", "an oink of a family", "as rough as a butchers dog" or "a couch potato who sits on his backside doing nothing". How charming.
If you have such low regard for the people who try to run this club, why do you go there? I doubt they will lose any sleep over your departure.
I don't even understand a large chunk of your post but, from the general gist, I would put money on the barmaid telling the truth and YOU suffering from convenient amnesia.
You state "I get this daft nonsense all the time". Yeah, and what is the common denominator in all these situations? YOU. Of course, in YOUR eyes, you couldn't possibly be at fault and it is the rest of the world which is wrong. Perhaps it is time to ask yourself why you are so bitter and twisted and hate the world so much?

 Sounds like this place is from One Flew over the Cukko's nest, not a social club.
I'm a member of a social club, these are normally places you go where beer is cheaper, football is always on, and you go to socialise and have a beer and a chat.
All sounds rather strange to me, I agree with FA, Time to find a new club.

You won't win against this kind of stuff, I wouldn't be making phone calls, if it eases your mind send an email or letter so it's paper trail but even then I'd be very careful and what exactly are you being accused of?

 I think FA is right.
Also, since you are in the UK don't they have CCTV all over? Especially at a club? as FA pointed out, you can't prove a negative. So what would your complaint do?

 Time to find a new club. There is no way you can prove a negative. Her accusation will get respect with anyone, And, you don't really like the people there.
