drink driving? shame on you.
thank God they have closed down that den of depravity

Great memories of Monday dinner hours spent in the Globe with John Dowling and the lads from David Browns factory, Paul Dowling, Alan Higson and Kipper come to mind. Nothing like a livener to bring you round after a weekend on the booze in Wigan !!!!

I dont think the problem is particurly with pubs under cutting each other (excluding one large pub not wetherspoons) the problem i believe is the stupid cheap offers avaliable in supermarkets off-licences people realising if they drink at home cheap they can then smoke and drink together. Getting drunk at home in front of children causing violence in the home but the government and police aren't too sharp on picking up on this, they think that the reduced violence in pubs is a good thing.
What happens when more and more pubs shut........... kids now, future drinkers have nowhere to go, no social network excluding the net, very sad life in the future
I'm not moaning being a current landlord because at the moment 4 me business is very good and looking more than good 4 the future i had a busier saturday (the apparent quietist weekend of the year) than mad friday and mad friday wasn't quiet either.
Other pubs aren't to blame 4 this neither the managers, tenants or owners the big companies selling these ridiculous cheap offers in supermarkets are along with the government!!!!!!

drinking at home isnt the same though is it? i mean its pretty sd if your sat home alone with a load of beer and getting drunk.
Going to a pub is a social thing as much if not more than a beer thing, well thats how i see it.
