Drove past my old local earlier
It's well on it's way to becoming two flats, which is what the developer wanted. It'll be a good development - two good properties in a very solid grade 2* building.

Brad and Caroline ran it well, but they were only ever leaseholders.

Just sayin', like.

I reckon that's what's going to happen to my old local.

Drove past the two flats I used to live in earlier.
They're well on the way into being turned into a boozer.

It was a little comment aimed at one in our midst who thinks that taking on a lease is a good idea.

If it was a good idea the pub co. would happily pay a manager to run it, wouldn't they.
As it is, they get rent, a beer tie, a machine tie, can refuse assignment of the lease and many other wonderful things to screw you down.

I don't think people moving to London has an effect on the overall global population.

Londoners protesting other people moving into the capital is pretty much the same thing as a BNP supporter kicking a Romanian to death.
