Well I thought I would keep the blog going even if the band has stopped. As some of you may know, Nik and myself now run a pub in Pontypool called the Hog and Hosper. What's a Hosper? I hear you say. Well answer's on an email to TheHog@HogandHosper.co.uk and the person who has the nearst answer gets a Hog T-Shirt.
So the Pub trade keeps ticking away despite the recseeion, infact people need to be in Social company more so now then ever before to keep the doom and gloom away. I believe in entertaining and keeping the ol chin up, if you can. Supermarkets are not helping the cause, infact it can get very soul destroying when you read or hear on the news that pubs are wholefully to blame for under age drinking and binge drinking yet NOONE complains when Supermarkets beam cheap alcohol adverts into your home on a daily basis. When pubs do an all you can drink offer the Media goes mad and weilds its ugly 'its all your fault pubs' stick at us. Not all of us Landlords/Landladies are bad at our job. Infact some of us do a great job, but you dont hear about those because good workers arent News worthy. How many times do you hear on the news that teens are lying in the gutter out of their head after buying drink from a Supermarket or Off Licence? Hardly ever but always about pubs and Clubs. Also a lot of pubs have been hit by the smoking ban. Ok, my pub ahs a massive pation on the front of the pub. Great in the summer (when the sun decides to join in) but in the winter its truly awful. The when the su is shining and everyone is outside, a non smoker complains that he/she is getting disturbed by a smoker. Answer is MOVE, you apparently asked for the smokers to go outside. POh wait ... did you though.. or is it yet another statstic the Government are making up? Probably..
