Re: Pubs

The Plough have just announced this on their facebook page
"Due to an oversight with a minor variation to a premises license we cannot open to the public for another 2 weeks as per Hyndburn Borough Council. Although this is a blow to us, and you our customers it gives us even more time to train our staff and iron out any small bugs.....Hang in their Folks, it will be worth the wait. NB If anyone wants to complain to the Council on our behalf please feel free!!!"

Re: Pubs

I wish them well but it is out of the way a little.

Maybe that will be a good thing for them

Looks like they've furnished it with stuff from an MFI fire sale.

Re: Pubs

Looks as though The Queens is having some sort of refurbishment. Notice the pub name signs have been taken off.

It could be the result of action from the P.C. brigade, a name like that might be considered homophobic?

Re: Pubs

Would taking it down not be homophobic?
Leaving it would be rejoicing in there live and let live attitude.

Who can say? P.C. brigades only want to be seen to be correct, they don't really care about different groups living in harmony.
