landlords profits tumble

A saturday night in leafy Leicestershire,weather getting steadily worse,rain getting heavier.
Three pubs visited,several well known driven past,smokers reporting on others-the early signs are not good.
Country pubs that are destination pubs,good food at cheap prices,are not holding their customers,yeah they are still coming in and eating,but they are not hanging about and spending.
Town pubs with entertainment,high overheads,door staff,acts etc. steady more than busy,don't forget,these pubs may need to take £5k on a saturday night, £4k and there in trouble.
Clubs,unless there is entertainment on,struggeling-all clubs competing to put the biggest bingo prize on,winners and losers,but generally all down on general bar takings.
Those with good shelters V no shelters? The ones who havn't bothered better do something to win their punters back because its goping to be a long winter and once customers change their habbits,its going to be hard to win them back.

Got some pubs to name and shame and one to slightly praise,watch this space.
