Greene King Turns Pink.
& no it's not aboutf Wadworth's new pink beer -
http://www.thepublican.com/story.asp?storyCode=63764
made with Angostura Bitters.
GK are apparently seeking to increase the number of women running
their pubs -
"Come on Girls - You could be queen of the Castle (or the Crown, or
the Prince of Wales...)
We're looking for more women to run pubs. Currently, only 13% of the
Greene King pub estate is operated by independent females and we'd
really like to recruit some more. Come on girls . . ."
They've set up a pink website with the name Public Housewives (IMO an
unwise choice - sounds like a specialist publication for the fan of
amateur exhibitionists) - http://www.publichousewives.co.uk/

Desperate for tenants.
Most GK tenants now are lugubrious, unimaginative and have the social skills of
a dead dolphin.
Thank goodness for the mighty micros.

Pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Who'd be a tenant? If you work hard and make a success of the pub, they
increase your rent. If you don't make a success of it because of the
high price of the non-discounted, restricted beer range, they sack you.
