He has bought the former pub so will be blamed for the closure ever more even as it moves in recollections from the historic empty dive it was to the perfect English Squires pub that appear in Midsummer murders...Originally posted by Sysman View Post

It is a lot easier to get a licence for a place that once was a pub than to get one from scratch.
If the economics of running a small village pub change at some point in the future it's a potential Plan B.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I suppose opening it up as a pub again is as good a way as any to lose the money you made contracting; certainly couldn't be any worse than my bloody pension! LolComment

Yup, a few months ago someone here cited an excellent book, which I bought and read:Originally posted by Rebel Without a Clue View Post
So You Want a Boozer; Bill Price (1986)
Anyone wanting to run a pub should read this first, and they'll soon be cured and save themselves loads of trouble and expense!
(And it's probably even harder to run/own a pub now than it was in 1986)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

WHS. Friends bought a rural 'local' in a bid to escape the rat-race, had their accountant do due diligence and moved in... Only to discover that the books were cooked and the only way to make a profit was to get spirits from the Cash & Carry and keep a two sets of books, one for you, one for the VAT....
Six months later and a lot poorer, they quit and sold at a loss, went back to their jobs, she as a psychiatric nurse, he, ironically, as a stress counsellor....My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

I know this bloke who ran a bar for a few years<cough>. The biggest money spinner was the fruities. Make sure the place is empty then play them till you get a hold. Then move the reels around to three lemons, or whatever.
you aint seen me right ?(\__/)

The owners of our local village pub are wanting to sell up as their business rates has now be put up to over a thousand pounds a month, as there normally seems to only be about ten people there on a friday night that seems a impossible target to meetOriginally posted by pjclarke View PostSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
