I said I had sympathy to anyone who loses their business. But as I also said, there's two sides to every story and it was very clear from the outset that all was not as made to seem. The landlords comments seem to the provide the balance the topic needed. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he says his lease is up & apparently he is retiring. It’s a bit like post offices closing, everyone complains but do they actually use them much? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Use Mal's quite often but it often looks empty of customers. I spoke with him about his electricity bills several months ago and it was clear then it wouldn't take much to find them impossible to meet. Sorry to lose him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even a year now. I think they're overstretching themselves, but who knows. Hooded Ram and other craft attempts have worked so well in the past.. Not sure it’s a terrible idea. Use the waste product to make beer which they will likely sell on premises. Would imagine we’ll see a few beer and pizza nights etc. Edited October 27, 2022 by jackwhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
