Sharp87 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 They did a session somewhere in Sheffield already though, last year in fact. The name escapes me, nowhere unusual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I will drop them an email now and see what they come up with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alas_alas Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 To get back to issues with the decor and refurbishment of the York, could I weigh in with an opinion. It was my first time in the York since it used to be an O'Neill's in 2001; I've avoided it since then due to the Scream refit. Not that it was better as an O'Neill's. Anyway, like the idea, great theory behind it looking back at the earlier part of this thread. What I wanted to say was - and this applies to the Dove and Rainbow too - what's with all the A4 paper signs everywhere? I assume people can kind of make their own minds up about certain things, or else deduct what's going on, without having to walk around the pub seeing stuff like 'Pub closed on Saturday due to a police notice' or one above the D&R bar describing the finer points of alcohol taxation and the chain of debtors involved in the sale of a pint. I've got to say this is a bit of a put-off. A few well-place and well-maintained signs, e.g. on a blackboard, would do the job just as well. Anyway, thanks for a nice pint of 7 Hills. Very good indeed. And very friendly staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point is noted....we are in the process of de cluttering notices at the Dove and the York, so their will be less paper signs very soon and more useful things like chalk boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alas_alas Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Good idea Goldenfleece - I'm not saying what you have on the paper notices is wrong, it just appears to the innocent eye a bit like the kind of notices on doctor's waiting room walls/police entrances!
