It just spoils it Stay at home and get a takeaway if that’s your bag. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I would describe these as very small by today's standards. I dont mind the TV if there is actually something important on, it's when they are just on and no one is actually looking at them that it does my head in.m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no sport at many times of the day. If there is and someone is watching, fair enough. Often there isn't and there isn't and then they are just annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some places have art on the walls that I don’t like, so I don’t look at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't go in places where they have them, as don't many other people. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ativa Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Anyway. There have always been TVs in there so I am not sure what people are getting het up about? Maybe they are changing the vibe of the place a bit to make three distinct venues with different atmospheres when the new one opens which I see work has now started on. More positive news with another new venue opening. Jaks and BC are both very popular so it’s not like the guys are investing in a new place with no understanding of the market or current climate. They obviously know there is enough business to sustain a third venue which is good news for all of us. Poorly run places will continue to struggle and close, good places will continue to thrive.

Kopek Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Regardless of the TV's, many people will be looking at their 'phones all the time, Mum, Dad and the kids, none of them talking to each other. Worst of all is breaking off a conversation to see what the latest 'ping' is about!!! Well, maybe not too different to home life? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the way mobiles are put on the table rather than kept in a bag or pocket. You really do not need to be connected all the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
