The message from "Alan Holmes" contains these words: No wonder you have TWO businesses!!!, greedy girl Yeah, but *I* was the one who bought them, nothing at all to do with Bill! So you didn't use his money then? Of course not! What an old-fashioned idea!! I'll believe you, but then I'm easily fooled! How patronising! Why would you find it difficult to believe that a woman who has worked all her life would have her own money? That's the way the world is now, so you'd better get used to the idea... Please, please do not let this happen, otherwise men will be of no use at all! |

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. I think most of the country based ones are going to the wall due to the drink-drive laws. Gone are the days when people thought it socially acceptable to drive to such pubs, have a few drinks then drive home. This narrows the clientele down to those who get taxi's or have a none-drinking member of their party. The steep price of drinks doesn't help pub trade either, except for the single 18 to 25 years olds with little or no financial responsibilities and lots of spare cash. Undoubtedly heavy smokers will be less likely to go to the pub if they have to go outside into the elements to indulge their addiction. My guess is that over time none-smokers will start to consider pubs as a potential night out again. Smoke filled pubs have certainly cut our custom down over the years as it has other members of our family. We found pubs ok early in the evening, but as they start to fill up with smokers the smog becomes unbearable, so we tended to leave early and head off to the Chinese. As time passes I expect we and other none-smokers will start to drift back to clean air pubs / restaurants as a possible night out, but this takes time. More pubs will probably have gone to the wall by then. David. |
