Anyone know any pub landlords ?

Running a pub is not a job, it's more a way of life.

Good answer taxi. I suppose they like not having a boss always looking on.

I know one doing ok but it's a freehouse

One of Slippy Blues brothers has a nice pub.

I think it's two things; No one will complain if you're drinking at work and the women. Phil Mitchell, Steve Mcdonald even Fred Elliot,  punching well above their weight.

Allmost everyone the other side of the bar.....................can do it better

A common and erroneous view.^^^

A bit like all the beer and whisky experts in pubs up and down the country.

I know a few, a couple of them doing all right, but that's down to the kind of character they are. I think ultimately it comes down to that.

I've run a couple of pubs, hard work.
