Well said Len. You can step down off your soapbox now, hehehe.

That is why I believe Accrington town centre would be better off with a Weatherspoons, if only to give these rip-off merchants competition for their trade.
A few years ago, when the toy shop on Church St. closed, it became known that Weatherspoons had applied for a drinks liscence for the premises, and all the local liscencees complained to the magistrates court to get the application thrown out. The reason being that it was considered there were enough liscensed premises in the area. Twelve months later, Baileys was up and running in the very same building and no complaints. Could it be that they were unapposed because they weren't going to undercut the prices of the Bridge, Arcade Bar, Regency & Warners etc?
