Is it? Really? That's what they said in Ireland. I believe that over
there pubs have opened, rather than closed.

Yes, it is, really. The pubs that are doing OK are the big town ones, the
village ones are going to the wall, as they are over here.

Bizarrely, my local, which has chucked its customers outside because most of
them are smokers, have not had the interior filled up by non-smoking
drinkers, like the nsd's said they would do in the fictitious polls
commissioned by the powers-that-be in the run up to the only law I believe
that has ever been passed in this country based solely on an opinion poll.

And all that is fact.
