That is a real shame, if not a total surprise in the current climate.

Crowdfunder now!

It kind of always was. When Gareth and Karen took it over, there were a number of reasons for doing so - one was that they didn't want to see the place close and lost for good. However, their intention was always to reestablish the place and then sell it on.

If we took turns being landlord I can just imagine the licensee application to the local magistrates And think of the licence plate above the door!

If we do a week each we only have a turn once every 38 years, I might be nearly 90 by the time my turn came round. Knowing the demographic of the forum we'd have to go in age order, eldest first, to try and make sure as many possible do their turn before they shuffle off to the big pub in the sky

Yeah; he looks very different when he's not "in character".

[PaulB2]

It's the makeup, it does wonders for his features.

Eeh ya boogers! In fact that's 'Dawn' not me .

[Dave Barter]

Ah yes. The annual emptying of the w*nk bank

[Bearbonesnorm]

I'm somewhat bothered that you mention w@nk bank after seeing that ^ Dave?

[PaulB2]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

To be clear in context of completely emptying it

[Bearbonesnorm]

You really don't have to justify yourself to us Dave.

I was thinking more of "The Mended Drum" from Discworld

Those who thought discussing the various BB standards off-topic on a bike thread should take a look at this one.

We've gone from a pub for sale to a cross-dressing fireman in fewer than twenty posts!

[RIP]

yeah it's great innit! I'm sure we're still only scratching the surface of the insanity though. Comes of being cooped up inside for so long.
