I notice the tinker is now closed, another pub bites the dust.
he landlord has taken over the Cross I believe, well if he hasn't yet he is doingI notice the tinker is now closed, another pub bites the dust.

ya dont honestly think thats made a big differance Panther? the Pub Trade is dying compounded by the smoking ban,i was speakin to the landlord of the cross axes at great harwood the other week, a decent guy ex RAF his takings are now down 75% since the start of the ban. he said it didn't make much differance initially,until the cold weather started. he also told me the " Brewery" had rung him up accusing him of (buying out) cos his barrelage was down, he had asked them to spend a bit on the space he has out back, to make a suitable area fer smokers,.... they said ok but we want another £2000 per annum rentdo you realise that the only pubs in ossy now are:-
Blackdog
Rose and crown
royal oak
bay horse and then printers

Got to disagree there! The landlords are fighting an uphill battle. End of the day, the only money to be made in the pub trade is either managed houses (where the landlord gets a wage) or freehold
Dont think I have set foot in a pub since the smoking ban, and sure i'm not in the only one
