Do you know what the implications of that are?

It means that John & I might turn up outside the Queens Head with table and chairs and share a pint .... because we think our local shouldn't be closed. It merits more than that surely.
Surely, even in these hard times, you could run to a pint each ?
The Beaconsfield and the Queen's Head?

What about the Salisbury? Was the building Paul Simon "accidentally" demolished a "building of merit"?
