...No problem pubworker2007, here's something else for you to get your laughing gear around,

Firstly, let's be honest; noone's been cautioned, and noone's going to be cautioned. You can't be cautioned for reporting truthful events. And you cannot scold critics of the pub for their anonymity, whilst maintaining it yourself. If the police have cautioned BITE users for lying about the TF's outgoing management, why are their negative posts STILL here? I mean, let's take a look at some of them:

1) Sir Drinkalot says: 'frosty bard staff' (October 2004)
2) graley says: 'frosty staff' (December 2004)
3) sam2703 says: 'I got the impression that if you wern't [sic] a regular you were lucky to be... served!' (Sep 2005)
4) anonymous - 'found the outdoor seating preferable to the 'icy reception' at the bar' (2006)
5)LabMonkey - 'asked for ID with a cold sneer... cold reception...' (2007)
6) DavidWaspnest says: 'there's a definite 'local pub for local people' ambience, too' (2007)
7) rogerthedodger said: 'you never will you see more of a smacked backside. It is on the face of the Landlady.' (2007)
8) offthewagon07 says: 'have to agree the comments about the Landlady' and 'atmosphere which is akin to a masonic lodge' (2007)
9) greening says: 'well what can I say about the staff. They are rude, arrogant... and totally blank you.' (2008)
10)smirney78 says: 'I was appalled...Customer service was appaling' (2008)
11) durracellrabbit says.... 'I do wish that the mother and daughter combination would take some lessons in politeness and tolerance. They are both extremely rude... and they do treat outsiders badly. Many times I have witnessed this and have been extremely embarrassed by it. A small amount of courtesy and the occasional smile would be welcomed by many, Including the regulars...' (2009)
12) Bobbatok says: 'served by the most surly, arrogant, rude, insulting welsh sounding girl...'
13) hotdog says: ' you get is a contemptible look' (2012)
14) harveryhangover says: '[the staff] have got more sour...' (2013)

There are so many bad reviews, and consensus about the old management is so overwhelmingly consistent, that I am forced to believe that these posts must contain some truth. And you know what? None really mention the beer, food or building... only the staff and regulars - Ha ha! If its 'mild entertainment' you're looking for, look no further.

Now, here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

You say that you regulate this site, and pass on slanderous comments to the BITE management and police... so I am laying down a challenge, report this comment to the police:

>>> THE FORMER LANDLADY, IS BITE USER 'PUBWORKER2007' <<<

... Report that to the police. Tell them that myself and the 11 other previous posters are telling 'lies'. When they knock on our door, we'll send the police round to collect you too for wasting their time, the BITE staff's time, and all of our employers' time. I'll give you 3 months. I'll be back here in 90+ days, make sure you are. ;-)

Dear Reader,
If you'd like to have a better idea of how the former landlady may have spoken to patrons - see the posting below by 'pubworker2007' who 100% ISN'T her using a BITE account to defend herself(!)

'pubworker2007' - let me know how all the arrests go of those 'salacious' (slanderous?) posts.
