A MAN who runs a pub in North Oxford has moaned about the price of beer.
We only know that because Thursday’s copy of the Oxford Mail tipped up late last night.
Andrew Hall, of the Rose & Crown, a public house in North Parade, complained that the so-called “beer escalator” is ruining his business. He, and a handful of others with an axe to grind, are heading to the House of Commoners next week to “lobby” MPs.
The very fragrant Nicola Blackwood (Conservative) is his local member of parliament. Oh and ours here in Mill Street, too.
In other news, yesterday’s Oxford Mail falsely reported the “electrical calamity” that afflicted Mill Street the other day, that we reported here on Volesoft Oxford. It said the power went down at 7PM while our electrical oven reported it happened in the middle of the night, something verified by the locals and by the Giant Badger of Mill Street.
We are still waiting for today’s Oxford Mail. Perhaps it will tip up tomorrow. Or maybe not… The Kite, in Mill Street, offers good nosh and the beers are good too and cheap as chips. ♥
