If you've been there, you know why we're saying it
Whilst pubs in the UK are closing weekly due to the present economic climate, and people are sick of being offered the pine-floored, pin-head deluded self-important "because company say" manager, saccharine fake-leather sofa, uncaring, untrained barstaff, "all day" menu crap food...
Hello all - can you help with a national media story? We are looking for pubs which have closed their doors for good since the start of the year. Can you provide the name of the pub, the town and rough date of closure? Many thanks!

Hasn't happened yet, but the landowners of the Flying Pig in Cambridge want to demolish it and build flats. The same people have already demolished the Osborne Arms a few months back for the same reason.
