Kenbabs, there was never any serious danger of the pub being "Grand-Unionized", due to it's size and location - in fact the new look is exactly what I predicted, which is what makes it so predictable, ha-ha.
I see that ubiquitous English heritage green everywhere now, from the White Swan in Richmond to every gastro-pub that's had a makeover.
You haven't grasped my point which is that it didn't need it, it just needed some TLC as advertised on the board outside - which means maintenance, cleaning etc.
If you were involved in advising on the new look, then obviously you will defend it, but i agree with fatang; put your money where your mouth is and unmask yourself.... there's no downside for you, otherwise we will have to assume you are one of the owners or their acquaintances.

Badly phrased - I meant to say: even then, only having bottled beer was a rarity, not that a Pubco going into administration was a rarity!
