Fancy a pint down at Poosie Nansie's?

Re: Fancy a pint down at Poosie Nansie's?
With hundreds of pubs closing down every week in the UK its likely that many of these brilliant old names may vanish.
Wetherspoons Pub Group have saved a number of pubs and created a good few more, despite some brewers and landlords claiming that their prices have driven them out of business. In reality bad food, bad beer, dirty facilities, the recession and the smoking ban did more damage than anything else.
Wetherspoons pubs have sympathy with local history, our nearest one is called "Shay Wake" named in dialect after the mill workers annual holiday Shaw Wakes Week. Inside there are tributes to the local cotton mills and a clockwork art piece made from parts of a spinning machine. It serves great real ale from a number of local breweries, serves a simple menu, and above all is clean. Given that this has opened on a crossroads where there are three other pubs that you think might now be be struggling - in fact they are busier than ever and have (to a degree) cleaned themselves up from the grotty states they had become.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
