Can you remember just why that actually happened Cashy? I've been told by several people that it was something that was brought in after we joined the "European Union" as its now called, and it was a European directive that said that all areas of the Pub should be in view by the people behind the bar area!...Not sure if thats just complete twaddle because i cant find any info about that, and after all there's plenty of quirky little "Brown Bars" in Belgium, and old fashioned bars in France too, but certainly things started to degenerate around that time!
