Title: Opening hours on Sundays
Post by: Just One More on March 16, 2008, 12:29:33 PM
Were you closed this morning Barman, or did you lock the door when you saw me approaching?

(I couldn't get on the site from about 0900hr's today)

 I couldn't get in either .... even the cat-flap was locked. BM seems to be in hiding ~ or at least not answering his emails/PMs etc.

Pissed/hungover, methinks.

I shall communicate my displeasure at his behaviour to LL. He hasn't even fed me yet.

I noticed  whistle:

Someone banging on about walking letter boxes. Tell him (cos they won't let me in) that all Post boxes have to have planning consent to either remove or emplace. If he kept up to date with planning notices for his area he would have known all about it. No post box can be removed or placed in a new position without 6 weeks consultation and consent from the Planning Office at the local council.
Still I suppose it gave him something to rant about. ::)

Would you want to belong to a club that would have you as a member? Apart from the Kennel Club of course

Well from the way you all vanished it looks like Sunday "Hours" are being observed.

Lame excuse Barman. We, your punters DEMAND a full inquiry, followed by detailed plans of how you are to ensure no such repition.

We deserve no less.

[brown] I have created a committee that will make a full enquiry into the conditions that caused the alleged non-working of the pub and it would be unprofessional for me to comment before the committee has made its full report although it would appear that the problem was caused by the difficult economic conditions around the world and nothing whatsoever to do with the management of the pub in any way ever. I can however announce today that the management of the pub (well just me actually) will be awarded a pay and benefits increase of 98% based on performance. [/brown]

That's fine then. Such prompt action is rare these days - you increase is fully deserved.

So long as lessons are learnt, I'm sure that we all appreciate that what happened was in our best interests. I dare say not being open actually benefitted us all environmentally and even reduced your carbon footprint. So it's win win

No, no, no. First bit of silverware this year, I insist it is on me.

And a champagne flavoured Bonio for the hound too.
