Well thats what i'd have thought Jaysay..as i say i never saw owt in print to state that...but it did start to happen just around after we joined "Common Market" so perhaps thats were these daft ideas got picked up!...I know it was a ruddy mistake... first they knocked them all through and made then all "light & airey" using pine or oak...then decided they wanted to go back to traditional styling and dark wood again!! They also became a fan of split level areas...sticking ruddy steps into pubs where none were previously..great for older people n wheelchairs!
