Save My Pub from ClosingI went to the closing night of the Pineapple - the pub at the end of my road.
The owners sold it - on the condition that the new owners continue it as a pub - however nasty developers have got in and are turning it into flats.
Not good.
It's been in the papers, Evening Standard & Camden New Journal, and Radio4s You & Yours... And there is an email campaign to get Camden council to stick their oar in.
Please send emails to Case Officer John Davies at [email protected] saying 'Please keep the Pineapple pub open... The loss of our traditional neighbourhood pub in the name of making a quick buck will have detrimental effects on the community.' Or something like that.

Name's all wrongThat's why they've gone under. They should have called it the Kitten and Zeppellin. I'd have drunk there then.

They dothat down here in darkest wiltshire too.
They tore down a listed 17th century brewery and pub to makeway for a development of "cosmopolitan" town houses for the young professional! Bastards should be shot.
Maybe you could organise the next B3ta outing to the Pineapple, drink it dry and then squat until new owners can be found.
