We all now know to be very worried if we see a digger near a pub.

That really depends on the pub.

Show me a digger near the Coach and Horses or the Oxleathers and it's party time

 

[tek-monkey]

I'd like to know what date the digger was booked!

It was booked 10 days before the pub burnt down.

Our least favourite pubs have the potential of becoming great pubs.
A pile of rubble doesn't.

Those two stand more chance of becoming great as piles of rubble. Oh and you can add the Four Crosses to the list.

Not a chance with the current clientele of the aforementioned two pubs!!!

Seem to be trying to make it into an attractive pub, hope it works for them. Admiral are still advertising the tenancy but that is common with some pubcos, leave the tenancy advertised as bait to attract potential tenants then offer them another pub.

It's closed now, not a year after a big refurbishment.

OH MY GOODNESS ANY REASON WHY

Admiral not offering it for lease or sale at the moment.

That's a surprise, lots of 'my' customers pop over there on a Friday night...

Too many pubs are only busy on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Someone else has told me that today it has a "To Let" board outside but when they went in there was very little stock and no real ale.

Recently it's depended on the time of week, a cask of Wye Valley Butty Bach delivered on Wednesday morning and on sale from Wednesday evening until it sells out.

Sad times for 'proper' pubs.

Sad times for 'proper' pubs.

Yes indeed.
Too many people drinking supermarket fizz at home.

It is, but who goes to pubs anymore? No one I know, pubs are meal out destinations now, I don't not know anyone in my circle that just go to pubs to drink...

...work customers are different.. plenty used to pop over to the lamb on a Friday afternoon drink after work, they're all my age, 50+, but I think that tradition has died out in younger generations (anyone under 50).

I've used two hundred pubs so far this year.
I don't just go to pubs to drink. I go for company, relaxation, history and a host of other reasons.

When young, free and single I'd often use the pub for social activity, I find it much harder now juggling a wife/baby/2 needy dogs but still do like a pint now and then in a pub. I am, however, rather close to 50 now!

I too often visit pubs for a few beers and a bit of social interaction.

Totally agree with this.

I've made lots of friends in pubs over the years including a few on this forum who I probably wouldn't have met if it wasn't in a pub.

Who stays at home these days? That's so 2020
