Pub refurbs

less walls = more tables = more money from food, i suspect. It's a shame.

just eat, pay up and feck off quietly thanguverymuch

Better a refurb than a boarding up.

I wouldn't mind so much about the loss of alternative drinking areas if the refurbs were otherwise well done, but they're nearly all crap.

fewer walls sparky!

Less nooks and crannies for us naughty customers to hide in - its all about surveillance. Spot this one too - locking other doors into a pub leaving only one open. Easier for staff to monitor us naughty customers as we enter/leave.
Were all guilty until proven otherwise you know ...

I hang my head in shame Reyes!

A friend of mine spent £250,000 refurbishing his pub. I thought he was making a mistake, but it has proven to be a wise move.

I like the traditional English 'Irish pub' refurb - nothing like having a bike or a watering can nailed upside down to the celing.
