That may well be the case however on said night it was still very noisy well after 12. Perhaps with the door on the left hand side open, made it worse, who knows, but it was very noisy and unpleasant. > Ray plays songs by the likes of Rolf Harris That must bring in the crowds.. > older stuff.

It was merely a comment on the noise level, nothing else. This is a local forum and freedom of speech is the name of the game my friend. If you would like me to cone over in person I am more than happy to do so however unless there is chilled wine on the go, not sure I can make it.. :) > During my time here i have raised over ?1500 for > the local schools and a hospice.

And it does what it says on the can, and I quite like it other than when I want to sleep, thankfully it is never noisy during the week. > Pubs used > to be the hub of the community, and i tried to > bring a little bit of that back.

So, I hope I have set the record straight as clearly and concisely as possibly, no sarcasm, no digs.... Back to you Pete!
