used to work in the trade myself..it saddens me that so many pubs are now closing at a most alarming rate these days...come july..wats going to happen?we may have fresh healthy air to breathe in but why didnt the goverment start it on jan 07?most people need an incentive to give up smokin..wat better time to do it??jan is the quietist time of the bar trade..everyone starts new year resolutions..give up booze..give up fags..so many coffee shops are opening and so many pubs are closing..think the goverment have made a boob somewhere down the line.bad planning.if anyone lives in wantage reading this please get in touch as i like to keep an eye on wats going on there regards the pubs..unfortunatley ive had to knock me beer on the head now due to health reasons,,but still drink me wine..cheers guys..gray...
