    It would explain why his sockies are always so pissed.

    I think a little perusal at the books is in order and a little modelling in the first instance. Owning a pub is on my bucket list.
    £600k is a small pub. My mate's pub is pretty small and does 10k+ a week and closer to 20k a week near Christmas (so probably about 750k a year). A bigger pub (but still not big) nearby does about 20-25k a week. For comparison, somewhere like O'Neills Leicester Square does over £100k a week.

I see it as a cushion to allow me to try other avenues, to you it's a comfort blanket to sit warm and cosy in your house and sneer.

    If you're past 40, you should only be working for fun, not necessity.

    Definitely when choosing your first pub, you should go for a massive one with 15 staff.

    If it's on your BL, buy a tiny one after you retire as a lifestyle business, not to turn a fat profit.

    Actually complete opposite. I do well in everything I do. I just believe in the spice of life and like to try and learn different things. Just because you think sticking your head in a statistical model and living a dull life like a pious Christian makes you clever you're in for a shock. You've never taken a risk in your life. Dull, dull, dull.

    Hate going to the pub when you just fancy a quiet pint and the tw@ of a landlord insists on waxing lyrical about how running a pub was 'always on his list of things to do' as its ' a great way to meet new people'.
