I remember being able to go into the Ferry on a winters eve to find a roaring fire, the latest quiz show or footy match on the box, a welcoming place to have a few pints, that was as recent as 10 years ago but in that time a lot has changed. Take the pub at the WRC for instance....in my opinion totally and utterly destroyed by having all the character stripped out and posh tables and chairs put in. I often wonder what market that sort of venue is aiming at but that's a whole other subject and we are probably well off topic already!
