    I agree with all of this, @35B but the financial perspective will ultimately prevail, I fear.

    Mitchell @Small Prairie you're apparently wilfully missing the point. The pub is only (marginally) profitable because it is subsidised by the...

    Way to miss the point, Mitchell @Small Prairie. It may well be your local, but like many pubs up and down the country, if it cannot pay its way,...

    Mitchell - this is not about whether you want OSHI as your local, it is about what the impact of OSHI is on the railway. If it were as successful...

    Which locals? North Devon isn't exactly short of good pubs. And if the alternative is bankrupting the Trust or breaking charity law, then which...

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    Spot on, @Isambard! : turnover of £10m would be irrelevant if you lost £500,000 - or even £500 - on it. LBBC paid too much, and had too much...
