There goes another institution...
Aug. 26th, 2006 08:48 amThe utter utter bastards have sold the Intrepid Fox. Behind the Landlords back. It's been his home for 17 years and he and his staff have been given three weeks to get out. The complete tossers.
It's been a long time since I've been anywhere near the Fox on a Friday or Saturday night, as you just can't move in there at those times, and I'm not fond of that so much, but I've been fond of the quieter evening, or afternoon or, more recently, post haircut (hairdressers is just round the corner) drink in there for more years than I care to remember. It's the FOX! You can't not have the Fox...
There's a drive for petitions and complaints and stuff going on. They're trying to get the building listed as it's been a pub for over 250 years, and is a 'local interest' type thing, and other such things. I'm not sure they hold out much hope as they failed to tell the Landlord about the sale until the contracts had been signed, but hey. Details below cut.
I shall go curse Corporate profit-wank now.
