Dear Group,


I used to have a pub/restaurant. I was told by the licensing sergeant of the police that you cannot by law charge admission given that the operation is a 'public house'. It really annoyed me as the acts that I put on were second rate, and if I charged I could have presented better acts. I had door security, but would never have trusted them as they feel they are a law unto themselves.

Anyway, when you next go into the Vale have a look at the pricing and food selection structure on the menu, I spent a good hour in there looking at it (slow reader - keep up) I saw sausage and mash more expensive than gammon steak etc. Whoever thought the menu out has a severe lack of imagination.

Kind regards to all,


Libra Carr

Hi

I wrote in another topic about the Fox On The Hill - I read in this topic it is not a tied pub but I thought it was Wetherspoons.

I would like to add that to my knowledge The Vale is the only pub in the area legally allowed to show Sky football matches and a pub has to pay a hell of a lot of money to do that. I may be wrong as I do not frequent all the other pubs, but a mate who goes to the Vale tells me this.

I can't keep up with each of you and what pub you work for.

Can we have a members list???

In it we could say what company we work for or own or what have you.

Ta.

(I don't work for any pub or any local business.)

Rock music and biker chicks?

Ohhh come now.

Down getteth you to the biker forums then.

But if we can't park our bikes outside we can't be seen getting on and off 'em looking all cool and leathery...


Now, if anyone knows of anyone who makes a sticker I can stick on the back of my bike that reads,

"Children in TopBox/Panniers" lemme know.

    • If you want to look for blame, look at McKinsey's. It was their model of separating cost and profit centres which started the restructuring of the Post Office - once BT was fully separated off - into Lines of Business - Parcels; Mail Delivery and Retail outlets (set aside the whole Giro Bank nonsense). Once you separate out these lines of business and make them 'stand-alone' you immediately make them vulnerable to sell off and additionally, by separating the 'businesses' make each stand or fall on their own, without cross subsidy. The Post Office took on banking and some government outsourced activity - selling licences and passports etc. as  additional revenue streams to cross subsidize the postal services, and to offer an incentive to outsourced sub post offices. As a single 'comms' delivery business the Post Office (which included the telcom business) made financial sense. Start separating elements off and it doesn't. Getting rid of 'non profitable' activity makes sense in a purely commercial environment, but not in one which is also about overall national benefit - where having an affordable and effective communications (in its largest sense) business is to the national benefit. Of course, the fact the the Government treated the highly profitable telecoms business as a cash cow (BT had a negative PSBR - public sector borrowing requirement - which meant far from the public purse funding investment in infrastructure BT had to lend the government money every year from it's operating surplus) meant that services were terrible and the improvement following privatisation was simply the effect of BT now being able to invest in infrastructure - which is why (partly) its service quality soared in the years following privatisation. I was working for BT through this period and saw what was happening there.
    • But didn't that separation begin with New Labour and Peter Mandelson?
    • I am not disputing that the Post Office remains publicly owned. But the Lib Dems’ decision to separate and privatise Royal Mail has fatally undermined the PO.  It is within the power of the Labour government to save what is left of the PO and the service it provides to the community, if they care enough; I suspect they do not.  However, the appalling postal service is a constant reminder of the Lib Dems’ duplicity on this matter. It is actions taken under the Lib Dem / Conservative coalition that have brought us to this point.
