The Local

Should your nearest and dearest be the one that’s nearest to you? The one you’ll never loose because it’s on the way home and you always use it despite the miserable landlady who doesn’t know how to keep a decent pint or keep the place clean which attracts a dodgy clientele that you’d rather not bond with? Or should it be somewhere where everyone knows you and the bar  staff are happy to see you regardless of how many times you frequent the place? They’re always keen to hear your stories, make you laugh and get you to join in with their antics. Then there’s people that live around the corner that wouldn’t set foot into the place if you paid them but remember the old days when it was good and complains when it’s threatened with closure because there’s not enough money coming in to make the place profitable any more.
