The streetmap view of the Crown, presumably before HB's acquisition, shows a large 'Brakes' delivery lorry. I also like the article referring to the Hind's Head as 'The Golden Hind' - no doubt attracting maritime interest the world over!
But, yes, the main text of Heston converting another regular pub to overpriced gastro is most worrying.
BBC News today. This has got to be scaremongering at its best by The North West Public Health Observatory , a fancy name for a room full of number crunchers in the John Moore University.

The usual tat but with some unscientific admissions.
"Although there is no medical confirmation that patients have these conditions through alcohol consumption, the researchers assume on the basis of a previous studies that a certain proportion will have been caused by misuse"
"It is time to recognize that we are not a population of responsible drinkers with just a hand full of irresponsible individuals ruining it for others"
At least Lord Howe took a less hysterical view,
"Supply and price are not the only factors fueling misuse though, attitudes are crucial. We need to understand better the psychology behind why different groups of people drink too much. Legislation or initiatives will not work unless we have a better understanding of what drives people's decisions"

notice Rochdale in the list...RobCAMRA must get round a lot...
Where does Rochdale get a mention, I can't find it.

I think some of the red dots are places Soupy visited in the last month.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
On the right hand side, half way down, box entitled "LOCAL AUTHORITIES WITH HIGHEST LEVEL OF HARM"Where does Rochdale get a mention, I can't find it.
I think I represent the entire level of harm in my area.
