Hi Shamus - I'm only a guest now so PMs are not possible.
But Joe Offer could supply you with my Email address. Trust you are well and (touch wood) I have not fallen down any more Irish stairs recently.

The Travelodge -v- The Brown Jug saga.

A DISPUTE between a pub and a hotel over live music will not be resolved until February.

Hotel giant Travelodge had asked Newcastle Borough Council's licensing sub-committee to review the Old Brown Jug's licence after it claimed noise from the Newcastle pub was stopping its guests getting to sleep.

Travelodge made the complaint just three weeks after it opened its £3 million 82-bedroom hotel on the Georgia Pacific site in June.

But a licensing meeting yesterday heard Travelodge had asked for the matter to be adjourned to give it more time to collect information.
