I do get a little nervous myself when walking past in Summer and everyone outside .. always some sort of comment thrown at me. They will gain their experience here and move on to larger establishments .. perfect.

Also, they appear to have risen again and got on with their jobs and not looked backward to this incident; lots of older landlords would have been stuck in this time warp.

Well done you two .. hope they catch the idiots.

Of course its terrible what's happened there.... and in general I feel that say under 25 is too young to be a landlord:

In general : these day's anyone it seems can get a pub ( ok within reason )
The new landlords come and go all the time.... you need to have experience to deal with some of the problems that can happen.... once upon a time Respect was shown to landlords ( sadly not the case anymore)

Legally some of these young ones, have only been drinking themselves for three years.... so what real experience have they got on the effect that the alcohol can have.... you need to be able to READ your punters.... that comes only with maturity:
