I was down the street last w/end and called into the Tavern, shocked is an understatement what the !*!@# they done to the place. At first I thought they were renovating the place while still trading it looks like a building site at least and at worst you'd think a load of asians had moved in! What a mess,no seats anywhere but in one corner, pool table moved to take up more room beside bar,wall or partition ripped out and left as it is,there were more people behind the bar than were in the place and even then had trouble getting served as they all seemed more intent on finding out who was available to drive a TAXI. It gets even worse folks,for as I looked around aghast,there lurking at the end of the bar for all to see was the !*!@# Sun news paper sitting unabashed with a pint just waiting for some poor sop to pick it up! Could it get any worse!!!!!! So are they doin the place up or are they goin the whole hog an puttin down spitoons an sawdust? Cos if they are I'll be there again next w/end :lol:
