    Default Sympathy for the floods

    Sorry to get serious for a moment but let's spare a few special thoughts for all the pubs that have been flooded out over Christmas, and all those who have had their lives turned upside-down as a result. Sadly some will never re-open but we should give special support to those that do.
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Absolutely - just look at this to see the scale of the damage to property, jobs and local amenity (although, thankfully, no loss of life here):


    Horrible times for those involved.

    Jesus. Has somebody marked it closed yet?

    Thankfully all pubs in Hungerford appear unscathed so I should hopefully do all 9 during the rest of the day.

    The Baum currently closed, no power, but not flooded thankfully.

    The Regal Moon in the town centre didn't fare so well.

    How is it there are still so many pubs missing on here in certain parts of the country?

    Not sure what he's saying but seems to think it is flooded.

    The Baum is a bit higher up than the town centre area round the Regal Moon so should be OK for a bit. If the Baum floods the Regal Moon will be a long way under water - maybe it will be renamed the "Regal Moon under Water"!

    The Regal Moon looks like its closed until the summer.Some wag on Scoopgen says when it re-opens it will be called the Regal Moon Under Water.Funny but not funny.
