I'd guess some TT/MGP mad rich comeover might well go for it. Is that busy as a pub or busy as the local corner shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who doesn't want to sneak in a cheeky pint whilst you nip to the shop to get some eggs and sugar? It's a genius marketing move. The wives in Sulby will surely be amazed by how keen their husbands are now to do the shopping. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty common in some of the villages I've been to in Portugal actually. Their version of a Spar with a bar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited a very large Tesco in Krakow and it was marvellous, I sat in one of the 4 bars and had a few pints while the wife had a haircut at the hair boutique before we had lunch at one of the eateries within the complex before doing our grocery shop. I was a very happy shopper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s busy because Rosie runs a good hotel, restaurant, event venue, bar, pub and the shop. She’s adapted and changed her business model as times and tastes have changed, ever since she bought it, very run down, from the brewery. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Flint Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Rosie has been looking to sell for some years now, especially after Eddie passed. It was up for a million a while back. She's worked bloody hard. Hope someone goes for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked for the lads name and then made up a bit of a joke routine "how tickled I am to meet Will Tickle" etc. It got a laugh and it forever became part of his routine. Will rang me Dad when I was about eight, and a big Mister Men fan. I answered the phone "Mum Mr Tickle's on the phone!". She replied "ahh yes Will Tickle" and that was the funniest thing I had ever heard. Edited March 7 by Declan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a new idea..... in the 1970s/80 Carrefour operated in England and certainly they had licenced areas for food and drinking in their Eastleigh and Cribbs Causeway stores. Very good they were too.🍷🥘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel rooms are freezing cold in winter, and the food and service were both pretty rubbish last time o was in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
