Neil, I don’t know any more than what has been posted here. It sounds like a dying pub was closed and they offered her other employment. If she was living above the closed pub she must have known it would be got rid of, surely. Would you prefer that she was given notice to leave even before it was put up for sale. Looks like they have kept the roof over her head and will do for some time. Even it was sold tomorrow, she would get months to vacate. Maybe I am just thick and completely missing something.
