Another Year, Another Pub

[drplokta]

As reported elsewhere, the Barley Mow had problems again last night. We didn't have the upstairs room, apparently because last time too many people were coming downstairs to buy the real ales that weren't on upstairs. And they thought there'd be room, but it was pretty crowded and noisy. So there's a new poll on PNN (look in the bottom left corner) asking that perennial question: Where should we go now?

Yes. Please. Do.

I offer assistance if needed.

I'm going to sound out a couple of non-LJ Tun regulars by email, with a view to forming a pub committee. If that idea is acceptable, would you be interested in joining it?

Of course, it appears that the former Barley Mow Poster Boy Robert Newman - who was loudly in favour of the pub and poured scorn on "dissenters" who had their reservations about it - now seems to be reinventing himself as the Big Chief New Venue Finder, so my efforts may not be welcome. Again. :o)

Yes, the antics of Mr Newman have been noted...

Yes, although I was on the last ad hoc committee and that didn't work out so well...

Yes; it was largely Rob's efforts in stirring up dissent that took us away from the Silver Cross and to the Barley Mow in the first place.

I don't feel equipped to help, really; I couldn't for the life of me see anything at all wrong with the Silver Cross, and hated the Barley Mow passionately. I actually can't manage to envisage a set of circumstances in which any rational person could prefer the BM; I clearly have a blind spot for its merits.
