    Couldn't even finish reading this, utter garbage.

    Perhaps she went in disguise so as not to clash with her son and rock the Kasbah.

    Not saying it's easy but if you're not open you won't get any trade.

    And I recognise those quotes from Dawn Hopkins - she has the Rose Inn just outside the centre of Norwich; her partner killed himself in the first lockdown and a Guardian reporter got close to her and did a repeat interview in the summer - I think that's where "we’ll have a Wednesday that will be absolutely mad and then a Friday that’s quiet" comes from. The M&B figures may be legit but a lot of the rest is padding and not necessarily up to date.

    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Red Oak Taverns to acquire 9 Hall & Woodhouse pubs


    Multiple operator Red Oak Taverns is set to acquire nine pubs from Dorset-based business Hall & Woodhouse.

    That's all I'm allowed to copy/paste.

    The deal includes The Bear and The Dog & Bacon here in Horsham. If anybody knows about such things, can they advise if I'm likely to be able to get hold of better beer? For the record, I regard Badger Beer as utterly dismal, so I'm hoping for some improvement, however slight.
