[Recent reports from industry bodies indicate
that the statement "only 1 in 10 Pubs
can now make profit" is slightly misstated;
the more accurate figures suggest that
only about one-third of pubs are currently
making a profit,
while a greater proportion face imminent risk of closure.
One in ten pubs are considered at maximum credit risk]

Was debated with another good LBC presenter
doing the newspaper review "this morning" ITV
