    I saw that on the news this morning Robert-apparently they are being charged only ten pounds a night to stay! It looked remote so they may be there for a while yet.

    They' ve certainly got a captive audience.:lollol:

    Pete's got a valid point though, what do they do if you refuse to pay the £10 a night?

    i understand, according to the local radio this was the pub that was used in the tv advert for
    EVEREST double glazing. before they were down to their last barrel at the pub, if EVEREST had done a bit of clever pr work and supplied a copter:cool: load of free beer etc
    they could have had a brilliant ADVERT "with windows like these, the customers do not want to leave????? :wink::wink: music.:cool:.
