Why There'll Always be an England

The Coventry Evening Telegraph reports:

LANDLORD Tim Platt took matters into his own hands when he was barred from his local pub - he stumped up the cash and bought it.

The 52-year-old was banned from his local, the White Lion, in Hampton-in-Arden, where he had been drinking for 30 years, after criticising the new decor.

He didn't like the pub's change from a traditional boozer to a gastropub and was overheard airing his views to other regulars.

The next thing he knew, he was sent a postcard of the pub, saying he was no longer welcome.

God Save Stout!
