Seems like pubs are going for a rough time with no end in sight. If they were in US, they could ask Congress for a bailout. Since I don't think we are bailing out foreign institutions yet, hopefully the efforts of groups like CAMRA and the support of communities who cherish their local will slow and reverse this trend of pub closings. -Pete Elaine,
