That's a load of bunkum Taggy I was knocking pubs to pieces in the early to mid seventies long before there were any such thing as European directives it was just a common trading market in those days, it was the breweries themselves who wanted to get away from the many small roomed pubs and making them in one big roomed ones it was part of the psychedelic era, with plastic plants and outlandish wall paper, I was there and saw what they did, brewery architects were a blood menace believe me
