Thread Name: Pubs in decline
Subject: RE: Pubs in decline
My local is a Punch Tavern.

They also own different businesses one of which is a nearby competitor a "Mr. Q" student-orientated or yoof market boozer. The Mr Q outlet is currently selling Draught Guinness (Ugh!) at £1.50 per pint. (Eat your heart out southerners!) He cannot buy it for that price.

Punch Taverns own about 5,000 pubs.

He is an excellent landlord.............(has camapaigned against the current bill and in favour of live music) sells great real ale......quality food...........and is thinking of leaving the trade.

There is only one thing worse than bad taste........brewery and pub accountants' bad taste.
