Is a bit sad. We've seen 3 pubs close over the last few years. 2 technically not close just converted to another purpose (weatherspoon and Costa)

Some of my happyest days were with friends in the pub but we grow up and have different responsibilities now. Plus everyone moved to other locations

Why the hell did it take 3 days. . . before the owner, the neighbors or the fire department do anything?

Phoenix. "Caring about people", or cats, is not something they are known for.
