I..."Thank Stalin this is no longer true"<br /><br />Indeed. The idiots at Fuller's Pubco destroyed the surviving three-room layout of the pub across the road from me, which was favoured by locals, turning it into a giant drinking barn that's now almost empty during the 13 days a fortnight when there's not a kickball game on, and requires police supervision when it's not. <br /><br />That was 10 years ago, I'm amazed the place is still open. At least now we could have applied for an ACV. BryanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550482701819539081noreply@blogger.com
