Look when he took the telly's out just before a world cup!!! Leopards - spots? Nothing will change.

Has Humph or Oliver got any interest in the World Cup themselves because if they have they might want to let fellow football fans enjoy it in their pubs and make a bit more money as well.More beer gets supped when a big match is on

I realise that some if not most managers just don't care about brewery policies, but unfortunately they are also required by law! If caught by the authorities He will face large fines, he could lose his licence and get a criminal record. (That'll show Humphs, won't it.)

I see your point ONLY ME but i think the manager will know the pitfalls of what he is doing,there are managers doing all sorts of things  humphrey has forbidden them to do, one manager i talk to just does not care any more hump has worn him down he knows his days are numbered,so he just goes from day to day doing the odd thing that hump would object to just to feel that he has won a very small victory.He knows full well thats its only a matter of time before he is on his way.

Somebody better warn that manager to be careful, no tv licence and no prs licence equals massive fines and lose of job!

Wish I knew which pub it was, took week off and having to watch it in bookies!

 I hope they all had a great afternoon watching the racing,lets hope the madman changes his mind and we can all get back to normal.

Well, just been for a pint of OBB in a pub I happen to be passing and everyone is enjoying an afternoons racing on the tele! I'd better not say where, as I guess it's just an 'informal' arrangement.

(Blimey Twelvetrees, have you turned over a new leaf?  That comment actually made sense!    Can't see it happening though - the thought of forking out for all those tellys, licences, PRS licences will have Humphrey in hospital!)

Have it on good authority that Humph has actually asked some managers their opinions as to how much the world cup will affect trade this summer(all the matches are on terrestriel channels).  The licences are reletively cheap and I dont think the PRS count for tellies.  Word has it that(as has been said before) that it may be selected houses only.  In truth he should have been selective in the first place.

My source still says that it will happen,though we can only wait and see,as no one can predict what goes on in humphreys mind

I wanted to answer this last month but was'nt able to but I think having tvs back in all Sams pubs would be a good thing with the World Cup coming up in a few months time, I hope he decides to allow them back.

I know it would be a big job but could someone do a freedom of information request to each authority to get a list of pubs or would it cost too much.

Nice thought - but I'm afraid FOI requests only relate to information about public bodies - similarly Companies House hold no meaningful information as the brewery is not a limited company - it is entirely private - there's no alternative I'm afraid to people sharing info and doing a bit of old fashioned leg work.
