Does that mean you aren't willing to accept a free pint from Punch (which is fair enough) or you just don't want to drink in one of their pubs?
I wouldn't penalise a licensee just because they are daft enough to be conned. A lot of Punch pubs are very good it's just their business model that stinks. Anyway they're not as bad as Enterprise, spit.
For me a free pint is always good, but none available near me, so "I'm out"

I've just received my voucher, but the useless pile of shite that is their pubfinder website tells me that there are no Punch outlets where I can spend it anywhere in the UK.
Even though I know there is a Punch pub less than 10 minutes walk from me.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Yeah, I just don't want to accept a free pint from Punch. As 'oldboots' rightly points out, they own some fine pubs and there's no need to make things harder for a licensee struggling under a punitive contract.

Surely it'll be a centrally-funded operation with any vouchers offset so the publican doesn't lose out (ala Spoons 50pl vouchers)? It would be queer practice if not...
I thought in answering Dave's query it was clear where I was coming from. Obviously not. What I was trying to put across was the point about not boycotting Punch pubs because on a miniscule scale it affects the licensee, also. A small difference maybe, but it keeps my conscience clear.

A'hem, this is Punch so surely there must be a way to make themuglicensee pay for this?
