Re: Pubs
 

Try actually reading the article before you tell people more are closing, NOWHERE in that article does it say more are closing

Re: Pubs
 

Well Shaz I got it wrong :o :o :p :p :tongueout :tongueout.

BTW, The Foxhill only reopened up a YEAR ago :signntme::signntme:

Re: Pubs
 

No Bee, you got it right.

The article in the AO begins "Pubs in Hyndburn are closing at a rate of more than one a month". Please note the tense used - present. It does not say 'were' closing. There is nothing in the article to indicate the rate of closures is in any way likely to change.

In fact, after the Wetherspoons opening and recent Tesco/Morrisons off sales, the only question remaining is 'what pubs are next to close?'

Shaz, go back to bed.

Re: Pubs
 

Sad news .... I remember them well .... ok, some of them I remember through an alcoholic haze. Here's a weird theory for you: Pubs as social networking.:eek: Back in the day, when the world was young and fish and chips were 1/6d, friends used to meet at their designated local (for me it was the Junction, and later, the New Brewery) and shoot the sh ... oops, shoot the breeze.:D But thank the lord, praise JESUS:theband:, now we have Facebook and Twitter.:rolleyes: How crude and dated; chatting live with your friends over a pint and a game of darts ... thank god for progress:rolleyes:

Re: Pubs
 

They can all shut for me.

Re: Pubs
 

Don't think The Dog and Partridge at Bash ever re-opened

Re: Pubs

Re: Pubs
 

Really? That's the old Commercial at Church isn't it? Must be ripe for demolition rather than owt else!

Re: Pubs
 

Haha well funny:D Have Wetherspoons bought it?;)

Re: Pubs
 

Not such a bad idea. In 5 years time when the stadium's built, this pub could be thriving on match days!

Re: Pubs
 

Could this be Tealeaf's excuse to go back into one?;)
