Hi John, you make some good points matey - I think you are correct re the younger generation not drinking as much however I see a lot of young people in JDW pubs drinking soft drinks and eating - the real mark up is food not beverage - young people still like to have a good time and socialise and eat cheaply and at the end of the day that is facilitated by spoons - the hotel side is a winner and I think news will spread word of mouth as it did with the spoons pubs - expansion looks on the cards in Spain - I like you am waiting to go back in - I see the pub sector as defensive in light of what happened at the weekend, and around 30pct of my stocks are defensive (BP, Centrica RR. etc) to offset losses in the Airline related stocks I have - I am looking to re enter here but as you say it would look better with a 6 in front - gl dyor etc.
