I passed by this afternoon and it was certainly open, with a couple of "old lads" outside partaking at a table ?? You're right Blakey - the YEP definately stated it had closed in an article a week or so ago, hence me adding a post on the subject.It would seem that news of it's demise was somewhat premature!

Well yes, but although it was open it is a very delapidated and sad sight indeed, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was, as the old saying goes, "the last flicker before the candle dies."

Not quite Leeds, but close, The Queens at Apperley Bridge has the shutters of doom upon it.

I asked my self a lot of times whats going on, now here is my thought stop the smoking in pubs? i didnt mind and i don't smoke you would just move around a bit away from the smoke when it got a bit bad not often. well stay at home watch the box well that's a thought this is all brain wash adds tons of them rush and buy when you don't know why you bought most of the stuff you don't need.well here you have it goes on for two hours but this is it WHYskip the first 45 mins get to the good stuffhttp://video.google.com/videosearch?q=zeitgeist+full+movie&emb=0&aq=4&oq=zeit#
