Pub owner trying to not go bust

Anyone have any sympathy for him?

It must be tough owning a bar or restaurant at the moment but he is trying to find a loophole to stay open in my opinion.

In the press recently a lot of bar owners have said they would rather be in tier 3 as at least they know where they stand and can access Government money. I can see it from both sides as if i owned a bar i would be trying everything to stay open.

Apparently it is cheaper to buy drugs than it is to buy Beer in a Pub.

I'm not watching that Fin because it will be stuck in my head all day if i  do 

I personally dont drink alcohol, I dont smoke, I do not take drugs of any sort. Impressionable kids however will likely follow their mates lead and take drugs in order to seem cool. I have no doubt it is happening out there all the time and getting worse.
If they cant afford Beer then drugs will become the new normal.
