Saving rural pubs
How much are you prepared to pay for a pint, and do you think village pubs are an essential part of rural life?
Changing social habits mean beers sales and the number of village pubs have been declining for decades. But now things are particularly bad. The costs of raw materials have increased. So too has duty, which is set to increase further.
And now the recession will make things worse.
