I bloody well hope not mate.
The only positive on all of this ball locks is that it's stopped my in-laws coming round, but that's about it.
Beyond that, I am missing visiting our friends in the Midlands and having a meal with them in The Glassworks. (A Marston's pub).
That, and of course our visits to Greece.
Wayzgoose.........where do you get the 700 pubs opening from April 12th information? The Marston website states 600.
Christ if this happens we may as well invest in Undertakers, we will all need them if this carries on. What the hell is/was the purpose in having vaccinations if we will not be allowed to travel?
Any idea how many of Brain's pubs are in the 700?
Marston to open 700 of its pubs which have gardens. Great news, they will sell plenty of beer that day!
Oh, Go on then. If I must.
3711 Oh, to on then, if I must.
surely it's done the toilet!! after a couple of hours removing the toxic alcahol...Hee Hee,( or is it Pee Pee ?)
Spoons posted their half year loss today with a SP drop (no surprise as they were shut) along with Marstons this morning. Another buying opportunity.
Being a fan of Zakynthos, and one of it's local beers, I found myself in our local Lidl this morning and might have accidentally picked up a crate of Mythos I'm sorry to say.
Straight down the sink I promise Guv'nor.
A step in the right direction https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/money/14382958/marstons-pubs-april-open/amp/
Beer is flying off the shelves in supermarkets, i can never get the box of 9 bottles of Marstons for 8 quid in Morrisons. This can only go one way in 2021/2022.
and hey pesto :D
i imagine a natural cool off from the take off bid talks and that the share has done well over the past 6 months.
but that means a opportunity to make some easy margin as solid company, and about to go into an insane period of social drinking
great time to top up, strong company and moving back into multi revenue stream times
Absolutely. I've been more than happy to support Marston's by buying my usual Sunday tipple from the supermarket, but it's not quite the same as sitting in a garden/dining area in the pub with others.
Come rain, hail or snow I shall be lifting the glass of Ale in which ever Mars garden is open. As for Supermarket ales they're nice but nowt beats the real deal.
Trent, YoYoMa
Indeed so, we trust that when the pubs can properly open again we can see what life will look like in the post Findaly but cum Brains era.
I could use a proper pint now, from my local, I must say supermarket tins (or bottles) doesn't reall cut it for me, just can not wait for some normality to commence.
@Barchid.
Well, I've been rather slightly been distracted with the demise of Piers Morgan of late but I have been popping on here observing proceedings.
That said, it's good to see some stability in the sp here, isn't it.
For a while we did see a flurry of commuters with ramping & deramping but still as the film "the usual Suspects" still here. All is good here and with a bit of luck still here once the pubs open.
Since the shares have steadied we are no longer seeing personal predictions of very short term price movements, which to me is a good thing.
Band wagons have never appealed to me, but sensible analysis always has.
Are happy days here again?
Thank you for the response it makes sense and agree May is better than opening in April showers.
i run a franchise operation for Marston’s. I will not be reopening till we are allowed to operate indoors. We are all aiming for the May date. zoe as soon as the gov allow this type of opening. i’m of the view that very few pubs will be opening until May. It’s not a viable option . Better to take the furlough and go for early summer reopen. Opening in April will cost money.
Just been on the phone to my daughter and she says her friend who works for Marstons Inns were told that alot of pubs been told to remain shut till May/June time? Not sure to what extent this is true but I would of thought that they'd open as soon as they can to offset some funds?
I know Trent is in the game and maybe shed some light on this, perhaps it's part of a strategic plan or closing only a type of Lease etc
