The Anonymous Bard

Just about sums it up I reckon. Not sure if there is some underlying reason why said people behave like this and can use a loss making part of their business to their overall tax advantage although ultimately I think it comes down to the chain screwing the Manager in search of "group performance". It's a very cynical business if that's how the chains are operating if putting personal ruin before their profits is the game that they are playing. I wonder if The Admiral Nelson would be a profit making business in a private landlord's hands if it were not for the charges that they incur as Managers?

That's a real shame for The Admiral Nelson once again, never a sadder sight than when we had walked up from the marina last year only to see it boarded up once again. It's difficult to see how anyone is going to make a viable business out of it under the current climate but hope somebody eventually does.
