Our local is a pretty good example of how to do a nice pub
It's an estate pub, so doesn't get much in the way of 'passing' trade, so the landlady has gone out of her way to get people in.

There's a free lending library in one corner of the lounge, where you can take away any book as long as you promise to bring it back after.
She has free pool on Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons, a coffee morning for old dears, followed by a lunch club where she cooks them a hot dinner (with pudding).
There's also pool league night, pub quiz night, live music on a Friday, and any sports events on terrestrial TV are shown on the big screen.
Plus, she lets dogs in, which is nice.

In fact, the only downside is that screaming kids are allowed in too. Bastards. It's a fucking pub, not a crèche!

Oh, you are a wag.
You know when I'm a merry widow, and I have loads of money and I'm looking for a toyboy?

Guess where I *won't* be looking.
