so we have reports of 2/3 pubs closing. so is this a couple of pubs taking their own decision or actually police telling them to close (seems not given the couple closing). on previous form all pubs will be home only except the 'Spoonies, to which the Palace will be escorted to and from.
i would suggest the Evening Star might chose to shut rather than have to deal with the hassles of staying open. it not exactly of hotbed of rowdy drinkers, but also doesnt have door staff etc like those that that are.
