Hard lines.

Ive heard that there may be a new bar opening across the road?

Any news on the new owners?

[Corkie]

well im the dog for the new pub

[Siouxsie]

awwww thats a shame

[Sticks]

Wanders outside the closed and padlocked lifeless building that was once Boris Bar. Looks at the wooden boards that cover the stained glassed windows, and then at the rain sodden planning notice

Why Oh Why

Rests head on door,

[Siouxsie]

ave another coffee sticks

[Sticks]

A sign goes up outside Borris Bar from Taylor Woodrow who won the contract to convert Borris Bar to a suite of offices.

The work starts on 9 January 2006

[Red Moon]

We are all done for the place will never be the same again.

[Corkie]

[Red Moon]

As an office block

Perhaps a protest in order

To whom?

As soon as Borris returned, the bar was sold from under our feet and the new owner, theoretically has the right to do what they saw fit.

Usually Kaz is able to pull things out of the fire, but not this time by the looks of things

[Dan_]

We don't want some offices we want our bar.

[Red Moon]

May be if we stormed the bar and had a sit in then the developers couldn't move in !

[Sunny_01]

I am with you Red - are we chaining ourselves together for this sit in?

[Red Moon]

Oh yes.... got to make at as hard as possible for them to get us out.

[Sunny_01]

Right *rushing off to find pink fluffy handcuffs* tell me when and I will be there

[Sticks]

Has anyone spoken to Kaz ?

[Sticks]

Just went past the place, and the work to change Borris Bar to offices does not seem to have started and the Talor Woodrow sign has gone

looks at sign on door

The new owners seem to have gone into administration



Borris is in the hands of the official receivers

[Dan_]

Wehay I'm quid's after getting the dosh from the claim I put in on after slipping on a banana skin in lidl's, claims direct really helped so instead of wasting the money on some hi-tech gadget or down the pub I have brought Mr.Woodrow out and the bar can go back to how it was

[Sticks]

Er Taylor Woodrow was just a contractor hired by the owners.

You did not buy the pub, you just bought into a construction company who have now written the owners off as a bad debt.

Borris is still in the hands of the liquidators.

[Dan_]

Luckily I did not sign on the dotted line

I have started talks with the liquidators to take control the bar and clear the debt.

[Kaz]

Great news, everyone!

I've been in extensive discussions, with the help of my old mate Reg from the Council, about the proposed take-over of Boris's .......

Seems that the developers were scared off by the threat of adverse publicity that would be caused by a mass protest and sit-in by customers, so they withdrew their offer for the premises.

With Reg's help, I've managed to put together a Business Case on behalf of all TiBB members for a collective takeover bid ....... and it's just been accepted by the Receivers.

So the premises are now ours, all ours!

I'll just need Ł500 from each of you now .....................

Only kidding! A most generous benefactor (whose identity I've been sworn to keep secret) has come forward with the cash to buy the premises outright. Their only stipulation is that the business carries on as normal, with all existing staff reinstated.

Any suggestions for a new name for the Bar? I think the KazBar has a good ring to it! But all suggestions welcome!!!


WOO HOO!!!!! We're back in business!!!!!

[Romantic Old Bird]

I think the Kaz-bar sounds great



Whereas the ROB-Bar sounds a bit dodgy!

[Sticks]

I think I did suggest Kazbar a while back, but I may be mistaken.

The coffee appliances should be back by the end of the week. The storage people do not seem to be answering their telephones

BTW I think Kaz is also confusing the sub-contractors with the development company. Officially the subcontractors pulled out because their client went into receivership, unofficially they were alarmed by the adverse publicity but were contractually bound to carry out the work.

The developers had borrowed heavily to finance the purchase and the conversion against theprofit on the future lease of the offices, but due to a collapse of another scheme they had been involved with, the auditors found a wopping great big hole in their finances. If they had not bought Borris Bar, they could have just survived instead of being declared insolvent.

If I can not get hold of that storage facility I will need to pay them a visit

So the Sticks Tavern is doomed to failiure, then?
