    we have a pub in the village which the owners of a consortium own (I believe) they buy up pubs run them down & turn them into houses & then make lots of money & in turn balls up the community. Personally I don't use the pub very often, it's not my kind of pub but a lot in the village do.
    Right now on to why I'm so cross for the last week there's been a commode chair by the entrance

    Now what sort of impression does this give to passers by? Why would the landlord put it there other than to put people off?
    I can't tell you why something so trivial has irritated me so much.
    I asked one of my neighbours if our Greene King pub had turned into a **ithouse or was it going to be a free house & he found it highly amusing, & went off chuckling to himself after telling me I had a way with words!
    Do you think I'm over reacting or do you think it's a disgrace?

      Do you have a village magazine or newspaper? If so, I'd write to them and ask if the pub is providing a public loo. Taking the pee quite often works better than complaining. :blue thumb:

      Our village magazine would be quite happy to publish a letter and photo of that sort. :)

      They obviously don't seem to care much about the appearance of the place or they wouldn't have put that there, or left the wheelie bin where it is.

      I suppose the commode must be more comfortable than the Phormium that use to be there. The Phormium also used to hide their bin.

      I'd send an email, with photo, to Greene King if they still provide the beer. Ask them if their beer makes it a necessity for the commode to be available for drinkers to use. :heehee:

        Brilliant reply @shiney :dbgrtmb:.
        We do have a village news letter, I shall contact the editor. Also I think an email to Greene King is certainly required :dbgrtmb:.
        I've put it on FACEBOOK (not something I use very often but it's caused quite a commotion on there!).
        I know its only trivial in the grand scale of things but it's really irritated me :doh:

                I think I've reached enough people from the village via FACEBOOK for it to be removed!
                I honestly have no idea why something so silly irritated me so much!.....I wonder if I might be a little overtired!!! :snooze:

                    They could at least have put in the porch, a lot less draughty I would think.

                            As long as it was clean, I would have taken it to the dump myself and got over it.

                            Beckie, I am just curious as to the wording, "in turn balls up the community" what does that mean?
                            And makes no sense to run something down "then turn them into houses" it would cost them more money to renovate after running down something first then turn them into houses.
