It's not like that now but they don't seem to have caught up with the concept of being nice to their staff and treating them fairly. It is the concept of being 'nice' to the community in general, Ramsey commissioners are not happy about the state of closed pubs and as already said 'they dont care' why are they not accountable for the ripple affect of their bad employment training and apathy of customers' concerns?

What exactly do you propose they do? They can't force a business to be better unless they are somehow contravening law. If they did our courts would be full to bursting!

Remarkably good food and very friendly and helpful staff. Went there for lunch about a week or so ago. There was some sort of kids party on (christening maybe ?) Ordered food told it would be 30 or 40 minutes. Fair enough. Came slightly earlier but was cold/ tepid. Wouldn’t go back for a while 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's very little difference. Around 1p a pint. Most places won't implement it. Supermarket alcohol gone the other way, by around the same. The reduction is only for draught beer. Anything 'packaged' (bottles/cans) will be subject to higher duty. Fortified wines hit the hardest and put into the same duty category as spirits.
