thank you, those with constructive input, you have been very helpful.For the guest who feels all pubs are a menace to society I can only say that alcohol will always be for sale, one more responsible landlord/lady is surely a good thing?

I do plan on working behind a bar again before I make any kind of decision and yes, I know it is hard work, but so is what I do now.Thanks for the advice...I won't make a quick decision but when I do, I'll report back.
