Found her to be an affable, accomodating and entertaining hostess along with
her husband. Never heard her swear and she was never less than polite
towards her customers and staff.
The mobile phone business is a long standing 'tradition' predating her
arrival by at least ten years, probably longer and was featured in the
Northern Echo. There used to be a large sweet jar filled with water and
mobile phones on the bar the remind customers of the consequences of
breaking the rules. The jar was stolen just before the change of
management. The landlady at the time couldn't believe that someone fould
find it worth knicking.
The signal is much better outside the pub anyway.......
