I hope the unemployed, the sick and disabled are not welcome there. In the past the landlords of pubs in and around Aberdare would cash Giros for these people to drink the tax payers hard earned money.
I remember the old Albian house in Aberaman full of the sick, lame, and lazy drinking in the Cowbridge as it was then. Where did their money come from? (Oh yes I remember Glanynys House Cwmbach road.)
Thank god those days have gone.
I understand that the girls School on Cwmbach road is going to be Workhouse, things are looking up for Aberdare.

I will be in the Conway Wednesday 18th April 2012 at about 14:00 call in and have a pint and a chat. I would love to meet you face to face.
The Landlord John Evil knows me well.

Is John Evil of the Conway related to Mr Evil the teacher of the now demolished Aberaman Primary school ?

when doz this place open , do they need staff?

They have the right to charge what they like, it's a free country. If your mate couldn't afford to pay the prices, then what was she doing there in the first place?

The response to his answer is in the first part of his name. say no more.

The experience Welshnproud where Vodka and Coke went from £2.80 to £3.60 indicates that either initial the lower price was a 'promotion' or that the later higher price was an ad-hoc price rise. It should be noted that ad-hoc price rises are illegal, as prices must be displayed, by measure, 25 or 35ml, at the point of sale. If the initial price was a special promotion, then this indicates that a 'happy hour; was in place, which is banned by the British Beer and Pub Association. Let's assume the establishment is not a member of this trade association, it would still have to comply with the licensing Act. It's an offence to have an 'illegal promotion'.. The licensee would have to prove that the correct price (as listed) was £3.60, and the initial discount to £2.80 was not "irresponsible". Article 3, Section 2b, specifies that "it is a breach of licence to discount to the public or to a group if defined by a particular characteristic". This law applies to Market Tavern. The 'line' is drawn by case. For example, to sell a first pint at a reduced price to a stag group is not irresponsible in law. It's a taster. However, to discount the price prior to a specified time is a promotion which encourages extra consumption, to 'get more in' before the price goes up, and is considered an illegal promotion. It carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail or a £20,000 fine.

Oh you are a silly little person aren't you Cocoman. My mate did not not walk out because you think she was ashamed she could not afford to pay for the drink. She walked out due to the fact that although the price of the drink had been increased by a stupid amount, it was as a customer she was not going to be spoken to the way she was. Do you get it now ! !

See what I mean......cocoman is now comparing the Market Tavern, a pub in a deprived area of the South Wales Valleys, to the Ritz. Cocoman...people EXPECT to pay high prices at the Ritz, which is why the ordinary working person would not go there because they could not afford it. However, they do not expect to pay over inflated prices is a vallays pub located in a deprived area. You are correct about the free enterprise. However, it is not sensible business practice to over charge customers for any kind of service or product. Your business simply woudn't survive, especially in this climate. It's all very well saying customers have a choice, so tough luck, but that is no good when your business goes bankrupt as a result, and many have.

Cocoman, stop kidding yourself. You do not have a business, that much is evident, or if you do, you have no clue how to run it. I have been in board room meetings with people just like you, who spout BS, but guess what, they are always found out and eventually fall. I believe you are actually a benefit claimant.

Ah, so no business plan then? Sums it all up really, which is why your business is crap! You've already admitted that yourself by saying your work is sub standard. No business owner in their right mind would put stuff like that on here, which is why it is evident you do nothing for a living, and are trying to be something you are not. One thing you are though, and that is full of bull.
