FT - coincidentally I posted something about pubs on the Mods internal board at that other site tonight, which was true, and went
"... reminds me of when our local shut for a 6 week refurb. The hard core regulars discovered that there were other places to drink, and many of them haven't even been back in in the year or so since it re-opened. But the £400k they spent on the refurb brought with it flashy drinks, an upmarket (but still only a pub) menu and, for a few months, it seemed successful, with a large and refreshingly young clientele with money to burn, at least until a newer, shinier place caught their eye."
