i also run a punch pub and have done so for the last five years , av got to say that i would love to see in jan the title again of inviting all 7560 licencees to put a offer in to purchase there free holds ... i did last year and my valuation came in £150000 less than the asking price ??? and cost me 1500 pound to get the valuation .. i think us tied tennants have held on for punch a bit too long ,and it seems punch have been also tied with there debt... two wrongs dont make a right .let the licencees that have not lost there lifes capital or credit rating do wot they do best in a untied business that is about to hit the wall .its all very well saying should do this in ya pub and that in ya pub , but when the credit crunch on top of no smoking etc kicked in as well as the current tie , you could flop devastatingly into a bankrupt scenario QUITE EASILY .the good times have gone now and if we all do the right thing now maybe some of these 500 year old pubs can be wot they should be .if i had been free of tie 5 years ago this building would of been invested in and loved by the owner and all customers who enter for a nice drink in a responsible warm happy inviroment .COME ON PUNCH YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO THE RIGHT THING HERE .
