Was also very busy.

Not a sight you see in many local pubs in the daytimes.

It all reads just too familiar. A lick of paint on the outside and another one in the inside, followed by a few local piccy's on the walls (just to keep the natives happy), some new cheap chunky furniture, a couple of bandit's for the ner' do wells, a deep pile shag carpet (for them who've got lino) and some dodgy astoturf out the back for the snouts brigade. In other words, a typical cheapo drinking hole for gullible northerners put togeather by a tatty southern based retail outfit.

There is one thing, though and I would appreciate if someone could clarify this: did I read on here or did I just dream it, that this drinking establishment has installed a nappy changing facility? Can you confirm that this is in fact, a nightmare and is not true? For if it is true, then what next? A nursery up one corner of the bar?
