drb83 again we agree but! i am a real ale drinker so very limited on the choice of establishments that i would even consider going into, i generally drink in a local privately owned establishment that has good quality beer and good pub food however since the reopening of the economy the prices in this pub have increased considerably and i have noticed a large drop in customers and how often they are frequenting the place.
people will not stop drinking but they will find cheaper ways of doing it which will result in a loss of yet more of our pubs sadly.
this will lead to a increase in sales for the survivors which i believe jdw will most certainly one.
ps it is only 1 mile from my normal drinking hole to the local jdw and although i have not been a frequent attendee i and my fellow drinking partners are already talking taking some of our custom there.
