I could be wrong but it's not the devil that reputed to be buried under the fire place at the Saltersgate. I a Tax man (same thing I here you all cry! ops I went all Tony Wilson for a moment!) a customs and excise officer. Who haunts the pub if the fire is not kept alight. The new management must be short of Customers due to the Foot and Mouth Crises. WANTING TO RETAIL TO SPIRITS:-) or they are using smokless fule!
