A BREWERY chain which owns a number of pubs in East Lancashire and employs 1,000 people in the North West is facing closure over an unpaid tax bill.
Cains Brewery, based in Liverpool, runs more than 100 pubs nationwide including The Last Orders in Blackburn, The Bee’s Knees in Accrington, The Last Orders in Nelson, The Brown Cow in Chatburn and The Printers in Oswaldtwistle.
HM Revenue and Customs has filed a petition for the company to be wound up because of money it claims they owe.

Last Orders in Blackburn should be renamed the Last Chance Saloon, seeing as so many of the regulars are banned in all other town centre pubs - no loss if that goes.
Now on a theoretical level if publicans were more responsible about who they serve I could see a good case for pubs being given tax subsidies as they are community facilities, but while they still serve under 18's and people that are already drunk that argument is not viable

Is it not desperation these days polly that determines who is served in pubs? I am sure that if some pubs were allowed to serve in a smokers bar, they might be more selective with the riff raff they allow in!
 
Can't remember the last time I had a drink in a pub, the last two pubs I used as a local were the Stop and Rest in Ossy and the Bridge Inn on Church Street when the present Mayoress was landlady so thats awhile ago. I just stick to the club these days and not too much of that lately:mad:
 
the last orders in Accy has all the same signs up as the last orders in Ossy and in Blackburn, i used to go in the one in Accy when it was the George, right up until that Murray person took over, it used to be a great night on a Saturday night when Mick Fenton used to do the karaoke
