Out of interest has anything further been said about Nellies? There always seemed to be a discrepancy between what the Area Manager said to me and what people seemed to know in the pub.

It did not seem a wise idea to push it too much or enquire specifically about a pub away from us.

I HOPE it is not the case that Nellie's is affected. If it is I suggest you DELUGE Mr Smith from everyone. It would be tragic!
