I completely agree with you Sue and I am disgusted by the discrimination and judgement that beejay and any other haters portray. Would you call your own mother an old crow at 65? Thought not, so don't be so insulting! I know the lady who is about to take over The Castle and with her 30 years of experience, I do not doubt that she will be successful. I would also like to point out that she IS NOT 65 years old and every single pub that she has saved from closure has been achieved by hard work, determination, working closely with the local community and licencing and police authorities. Did it not cross anyone's mind that this may just be a last chance to save this much loved pub? with the current stats proving that 29 pubs are closing each week (November 2015 stats) I think it's only fair that you look beyond the gossip, spite, rumours and hurtful comments and support your local pub where ever it may be. After all, the last thing any of us South Londoners want is another 'yuppie pub/bar' or even worst another block of flats! I have met Jenny and wish her luck in her new ventures.
