Britain lost 14,000 pubs — and somehow the spreadsheet has claws. From ~54,000 in 2009 to under 40,000 by 2022; closures skew toward the lonely ones (640m to a neighbour vs 280m for survivors). When Stonegate (TDR Capital) is carrying $4B+ debt, who’s paying for the round? 😼

The ticket office at Crowhurst was open thank goodness and the wonderful Nikki phoned the stations enroute to London. The equally wonderful Charlotte at Stonegate station said she would run over the bridge, get my case off the train and keep it for me.

Not good news for #Portsmouth pub-goers here as a private equity firm in ultimate control of the finances of 33 of our pubs is looking to refinance this year, and when have "private equity firms" and "refinancing" ever led to anything positive for locals or local businesses or the people who work in or use them?

#StoneGate, #Zagreb, #Croatia

People come to light a candle and thank Mary for protecting them.

(For those who didn‘t see the new episodes yet: Not canon! XD)
