Lots of pubs have been closing for years but in my experience it is largely down to ownership by dipsticks who are not suited to the job. Local closest to me that shut down years ago was owned by a surly git. Next nearest nearly went a couple of years ago when a similar sort brought and ran it but, since he got a friendly Irish couple in to run it, it's being doing pretty well. Live music nights, quizzes, decent meals etc.
PS Not that I go there when I can get a vodka for 1.50 at the village club.bloggoth

The white post to which I refer is a medieval relic, a bit like a pillory, to which some unfortunate would be attached to receive whatever chastisement the local populace deemed appropriate.
Fortunately, most undesirables these days never get further than a good old fashioned impaling on the church railings with the white post generally serving as a sanction of last resort.Comment

Malc, is this the White Post on the Fosse Way? If so, have you heard any stories of ghostly roman soldiers marching past the pub? Allegedly there have been a few manifestations in that area, as there have been further up in Leicestershire.Comment

ZeroDegrees in Reading has ladies watching over the gents' urinals.
(Much to the consternation of one peeing man, I did pop in there one day for a peek after a few too many pints of their excellent mango beer)
