kinglaws Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Oh dear the Brown Bear gone to the wall, the Sanctuary closed down, what pub is next to hit the rocks of the Credit crunch - meanwhile the Shiney Sheff prepares to set sail again ... Sanctuary hasn't closed down - was in there last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly84 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I heard that its closed down from a friend of a friend, whos female friend wasnt none too the happier when her ex was constantly being chatted up by the fat, loud 40 something year old woman that worked there. She was then told it was the landlady!? :s Long story short, the tenants added the scruffy and bad characters to the pub despite the renovation (what was okay at first, even I popped in for one )- then the tenants themsleves appeared to be definate 'characters;. Since heard from her (as the guy was very "ahem" close to the woman) that they have been kicked out for not bringing enough money in by the brewery, and that they knew it was on the rocks. Good riddance (of the tenants). It was a cool place to go for a cheap half (90P!?) after a Jumbos had wiped you out of pocket lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was then told it was the landlady!? :s So "someone" told the friend of a friend of a friend? That's about as unreliable a set of circumstances as I've ever read. Did this "someone" work for a tabloid?";) The landlady was quite young and usually her husband/partner was there with her by the way. I do have to agree that the clientele were "rough round the edges". The old man who sat shouting to himself in the corner was a "character"! Still a pity it's closed. Was good for a quick cheap pint.
