Could've approved lots of new pubs in that hour... Up to 19/01/16 now from a quick check.

Might be best for some people to take a breath and stop bleating so hard - Dave's here and work is being done to shift the backlog.
Simply approving a load of pubs with wrong/random info creates extra work later. Let him get on with it so it can be right first time.
Dave is working on the code to allow admins to approve/reject new pubs.
I was testing it last night and managed to approve 4 pubs, but it appears to have broken now.
I don't know how others are getting on but four of my five new pubs are now in. I haven't spotted any problems so hopefully the new software is working OK. At least two of my additions were subsequently added by other users so it seems to be coping with the more awkward additions. If Admin rather than the Main Man can approve new pubs then the whole problem of backlogs will be sorted. Thanks to everyone involved for providing this solution to something that was making me quite grumpy (it doesn't take much!).
Pub I added on 25/01/16 approved by RobCamra today, I think. Next local interest pub added by B'Thorn 02/02/16 yet to be approved but 50 pub enteries between the 2. Getting there and sure once all in place will be all singing and dancing.
It's all looking good, several micropubs added today and with no problems that I can see.
