The pub can be mentioned by anyone in any thread. Ok so after a 6 hour meeting with 14 Council Members, 4 from the police, 4 from environmental health and the Chinese guy from the neighbouring b&b it has been decided that the pub cannot reopen due to previous anti social behaviour incidents. Gutted really as it is a terrific opportunity and venue to add to Hartshill and Basfords already booming pub industry. An appeal is in the offing but they were brutal apparently. They offered an opportunity to open a cafe for a probationary period but that’s not what we want. Will see how the appeal goes but it’s not looking good. I only have an advisory role in the venture, it’s the Mrs putting the work in and has been paying rent on the building along with utility bills for the last 6 months at least whilst it’s been closed alongside having a very high level job at the NHS. She is currently off with stress so that’s another thing to deal with. I’m there for her as expected but it’s not easy. Do not people suffer if you can see things aren’t going well! Sorry to hear the bad news mate. It’s a shame that just because the previous landlord couldn’t manage his clientele they’re unwilling to give your lady a chance especially as she’s already put money into the business. Life really is tough at times. It’s hard when your other half’s going through a tough time mentally and it’s often a case of not knowing what the right thing to do or say is and there might not be a “right way.” All we can do is be there for them. and there simply isn’t a “right way”

Gutted to hear this, which pub is it? Hartshill could do with a boost seems to be attracting a lot half way house currently. Hope the better half is OK, I'm sure your supports means a lot to her

Half the time you end up stressed worrying about other people, nevermind yourself.

That's a real sod Badge sorry to hear the news, as has been said you guys shouldn't carry the can because of someone else's irresponsibility. Hang in there for your other half, everyone needs someone.

Hang in there for your other half, everyone needs someone. I did tell her to tell them she’d stick a rainbow flag up outside and bobs yer uncle but she didn’t listen! Anyway had some better news, seems the council are softening in their approach and are liaising about a plan to appease the police and them absolute killjoy cunts at environmental health. Will update with more news. It’s not over yet! Also the landlord has waivered the rent payments until it’s sorted one way or another. Not sure what her game is but we will take it. The landlord of the pub up the road has also said she will provide a positive character reference as well.

Onwards and upwards. This shit just happens doesn’t it? You just can’t let it get you down and over the next few months I’m sure something will happen that equals it all out. That’s how life isn’t it. The bad stuff always seems to have more effect than good stuff but I just think you should do whatever it takes to shake off the bad shit and embrace the good. Easier said than done of course!

You will sort it and come out the other end in far better form. These are the times when things just don’t go how you want to, it happens. I guarantee you will feel better if you go with your heart for the time being. I always find that’s best, then use the head when things are good👍🏻

Haven’t been on this wonderful thread for a few weeks so just been catching up and it’s been great to see so many thought provoking posts from some of the good guys of the Oatie so if you see multiple likes from me I do apologise. A few bits from me. - Took myself off twitter about 6 months ago was finding I was getting increasingly wound up and pissed off by some of the hate on there and the bias and poorly informed views posted on certain subjects. - A holiday helps. Went to Lanzarote a couple of weeks back and it made a huge difference both physically and mentally. Charges the batteries (I was feeling run down). - As Badge said keep talking. It’s vital. I’ve lost a few work colleagues to suicide over the years. Though you can’t help everyone just a smile and a quick chat can make all the difference when someone’s having a dark day. Sometimes the little gestures make a huge difference (same on here there’s some great posters who throw out the odd PM even when you don’t always agree with them). On a positive note I do believe organisations are getting better at supporting there employees than 20 years ago. - Never be afraid to accept help. I’ve been for therapy a couple of times over the years and though it’s not the whole answer it does help and just being able to chat makes a big difference. - Be kind. I’ve not been on the Israel thread as I don’t feel that I’m qualified enough to comment on what is a very sad situation. Politics is such a big divider and I’ve found restricting my time on the more inflammatory threads is a definate benefit. Blocking a small number of the more offensive and personal poster’s helped, also not getting drawn into long arguments that become toxic is another good tip. Just post your thoughts and run - Avoid the news. Can’t remember the last time I watched it but not saturating yourself with negativity and the problems of the world helps. I’m happier being naive to it which may account for on occasions my uneducated answers I watch a lot of youtube now (not news based). There’s some cracking tubers that just don’t do negativity. I can recommend Rate my Takeaway Away days Thogdan Butlers Empire Beard vs Food London Eats Producer Michael Food Review club Under the Cosh Very easy watches and not short on humour Also James English and Shaun Attwood are a good watch - Get some hobbies. Golf and the Gym are my faves and excercise definately helps. Look after yoursel physically and your mental health improves. - Stoke winning always helps Beard v food is very good.
