It also stank of bad drains, maybe that's why the beer tasted so bad. Very very sad but there is life after the Oak and it goes by the name of The Rose of Denmark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-20851261869455133362009-06-12T14:26:08.044+01:002009-06-12T14:26:08.044+01:00I heard the freeholders are puting a temp. manager...I heard the freeholders are puting a temp. manager in there over the next few weeks.

Now it's thriving, albeit with a change of name.<br /><br />Shame an independent valuer can't give their assessment of price, and something done.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you had a good pint for all of us too far away...Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687880147854083197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-4442205477651539712009-06-12T06:37:52.763+01:002009-06-12T06:37:52.763+01:00Very sad to hear, but honestly it was already in d...Very sad to hear, but honestly it was already in decline for some while.
