Plough Pub reopening

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

The Plough has been open since the 19t century, hasn't it? 🤣

[I hammer]

Yes it probably has.

*Cherry Tree... and with new ownership it has turned itself around.

Sorry, meant to add before I accidentally posted, why can't The Castle deal with the smell from the gents toilets? Then it would be ok.

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

I have no idea. Fix/clean the bogs and replace the carpets, and the Castle would be great.

I am certainly not a middle class snob, just live near it and walking past it stinks, the smell is disgusting when you pass by, when Jenny was manager it was exceptionally clean, had no complaints about it, since this bloke has managed it it has got awful, thankfully it has gone downhill as we dont have to put up with the noise and drinking in the road since we complained, would like to see it shut down, as would many residents

Referring to the Castle

I would post a discrete letter through letter box of Castle.

I'm sure the managers would act.

To be fair I work in a pub and it?s near impossible to get the smell out of the men?s toilets. We bleach everything including the floors, scrub the tiles and clean thoroughly every night and that grim pissy smell is still somehow engrained into it all!

Must be the Victorian drains.

Better ventilation would be a cheap way to keep customers happier.
