DP, I go there now only when I have too, e.g. if I need to bo a bit of "buisness" & I take the car! so I have one, 1/2 of it in the smoke shed! there are probably over 30 friends that I have not seen in months. Our community has fallen apart, we are f****d to say the least. Please believe me that the landlady is scared shitless! The week before Xmas this year she banked £6500 less than the same week last year! They have reduced the price of beer, they have a sign outside that pool is 1/2 price & free some nights, this is a big, big pub! but it is often empty, the under manager (brother of the manager) is now gone, the staff cut by more than 1/2. This pub won Greene King "best pub of the year" 3 years ago, so it is not a failing dive, still not a dive, but failing now, big time!
