the worst time is not likely to be at 7am or 8am or even 9am. It is the total numpty standing out side having a fag who when you pass with the kid feels obliged to have a wee chat with them, this is probably more likely in the afternoon after school. Explaining drunk to a 5, 6, 7 year old is never easy.
However, it has to be said that this is the case for most pubs that don''t have a beer garden for smokers to go out to off the street.
What is it that folk are worried about if the pub is opened at 7am. Most pubs that open at that time are generally populated by sad wee old men and I would much rather have that than some other genre of bar- the dreaded kareoke- doesnt look right (sp!)
Having said that if it is open until 1am maybe...........I will even be tempted from time to time.
who said that?
