Gary Sidwell runs The Purley Arms , an old-school boozer in a working-class neighbourhood of South Croydon .

He says he refused to serve the group because of their strange behaviour.

But Brian Mongan and his chums say he booted them out for a very different reason.

The four ' Irish Travellers' were after a very large compensation payment indeed.

Gary soon discovered he was not the only landlord targeted in this way.

A group of lads will walk in, behave oddly and instead of ordering a drink, they'll start asking the barman if they serve Irish Travellers .

Most are being handled by the same two or three law firms.

Landlords on the receiving end of such litigation, the experience can be traumatic.

Fuller's, which has 400 pubs in and around the capital, recently emailed its landlords to be on the lookout for 'issues involving members of the Travelling community'.

Gary Mongan has instructed Howe & Co to sue the owner of Ganley 's Irish Bar , in nearby Morden , over an incident on February 7 .
