The true cost

[j.sabourn]

The only pub that should have its name changed for false advertising is “ The pub with No beer “ . JS

UK pubs across the land have for ever had some odd names.
Many come from things that may have happened in the past, for example the 'Royal Oak' said to be a tree where Charles 1 hid from the roundheads.



Now when out on Suday drives we even see the trucks loaded with sheep or cattle and I know where they are going, not a nice feeling.

I was once berthed alongside a slaughter house in Lagos; the buildings were laid out in a rough square shape around a central open space, with some of the buildings facing inwards with big openings for windows; the slaughter process appeared to be several guys in wellies chasing the unfortunate animal with axes.
at night they held a disco in one of the buildings, no takers from anyone on board though.
They also had a "canteen" there

Nothing so far Cappy, just gossip. Apparently the owner has received about £10K so far in donations towards the vets fees.

jeez tony is that poor animal still alive.....or has it gone over the rainbow bridge......thats the name our vet calls a passing anyway ....regards cappy

no Cappy, it was put down to relieve its suffering, as there was no hope of recovery. The bill I believe was several thousands as it was sent to that referral vets down near Sedgefield; I believe any remaining balance will be donated to charity.
