Blimey try to keep up BG ! That's yonks ago. He took that one on as he wanted the Eclipse in Hove and had to take them both. He held it for a year or two, but sold it on to Terry at The St Mary's Gate in Arundel. It's since been passed on at least twice. Dave hasn't been there for around 6 years...
Blimey, The Star was sold about 7 years ago now I think !
Shakespeare's Head had to close as the lease on the entire building was up and it's all being turned into a hotel.
London Road does indeed seem the perfect Wetherspoons location. I'd agree with you there.
He's on a hiding to nothing at that place in George Street. It used to be busy back in the day but of course now anyone who wants a coffee goes to the coffee shops and Trevorspoons sell their booze far cheaper than he ever could. He just can't win sadly.
