Re: New pub opening .

This is NOT a pub!

Pubs are where you go for a game of darts, pool or dominoes, put the world to rights with the lads or landlord and flirt with the barmaid. Somewhere to socialise, with regulars, locals and the occasional drop in.

A place where you pray to God that the pub bore doesn’t stand next to you while you are winding down after a day’s graft.

This is a glorified McDonalds with alcohol, selling weighed and measured pre-prepared meals, from the same standardised menu as other similar outlets run by the same company.

These places can sell at 2 for 1..cos it’s crud! The same leathery gammon, veiny steak, tasteless scampi and overcooked lasagne whichever chain you go to.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some fine pubs selling good food, I frequent one or two of them from time to time, but these damn fast food restaurants masquerading as pubs.. meh!

This place will be boarded up in 2 years
