It’s very sad to see pubs going. Reading still has plenty of them, but there are a lot of chains, which are pretty soulless places.

Poor pub. I remember the pub where I met my hubby closing…it was reborn as a medical center.

That’s sad, Julie. Good thing you wrote the book to keep it alive in the memory, really.

Oh no! My local has nearly gone under, but survived; however we’ve already lost one pub in the village and another’s up for sale. Dark days…

So many pubs are disappearing these days. It’s all very sad. Fingers crossed that someone takes it over and makes a go of it.

SOmetimes, pubs come back — stronger than ever.

Fingers crossed that they find someone who loves it and wants to make into something special.

Oh that is SAD! Especially cos having read ONS, I feel like I’ve been to this pub myself
