The Fireless Locomotive

Still a long way from £2 a litre.

Thanks.

Odd that they don't feel strongly enough about it to mention it on their website. When a pub in Sussex was forced to take a crap beer rather than the good local one there was a huge publicity campaign, lots of beer/pub websites used, etc etc.

And is it /really/ true that _required_ insurance would not be available without wire on the roof? Plenty of pubs don't have it visible. Still, pubs are often worth more money if they are closed and made into houses these days...

Not at the current rate of progress!! ;-)

It depends on what you mean by required - the very basic legal stuff - employer liability etc maybe, but not being able to cover one's own personal stuff, cash, fixtures & fittings is far more important to the landlord in the real world - after all thats what he's working for!

It's certainly true about selling off for houses - in these parts is now spot the pub that *hasn't* got a "To Let" sign, or has been borded up since, the smoking ban. If I were a pubco, I'd be doing the same - take the money and run, it's the only sensible thing to do. The non- restaurant pub is a thing of the past. RIP "The Local".....

Give it time !!!!!!!!

Is't about 80% of the price of fuel at the pump tax ?

There used to be a chap in the UK called 'Screaming Lord Sutch' ( real name David Sutch ), an ex rock n roll star, who represented the Monster Raving Loony Party. It is now almost 10 years since his death. He was brilliant to watch & listen to and was a unique British institution. Some of his ideas were quite good. One I recall was tagging dogs with tattoos, this was in the days prior to microchips.

He made by elections fun and made some MP's look and sound the fools.

I am sure many newly elected MP's and councillors enter politics with the intention of changing things but they just get drowned by the system.
