Fleece isn’t reopening
Aye the brewery sold it and only informed the landlord after the sale went through. He's taking over the Travellers apparently.

Doesn't bare thinking about that mate. I'm the same with driving, got zero interest in it whatsoever. I'll only get a car when/if she get's up the duff.

Bloke called Davey, the bar has been on it's arse for a while now. Hardly anyone getting in. To be honest it's difficult to see what the future holds for the pub trade at the minute.

This has happened again to one of my mate's at our place, the van ended up bumping someone's house. But this time even though they've found that he put the handbrake on and it was a dodgy handbrake on a hire van they are trying to do him for gross misconduct as he didn't leave it in gear or turn the wheels. I think he'll get suspended on full pay and hopefully the union will fight his case.
