    just to conferm last weeks gazzet and herald and Wiltshire times placed an article on the harp & crown bike meet saying we end on the 24th of November. THis is not the case we welcome all bikers all year round and on every Wednesday smelly burgers are still £2 [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
    if they can put anything they like in their papers then what the he'll are we missing out on or reading about ,I'm quite a chilled guy but this really gets the my rage rising >, I almost stamped my foot [smiley=happy.gif]

    I used to run a comedy night at the Rose and Crown and thought doing an interview in the Gazzette would help drum up business. Probably would've worked if they hadn't printed that all tickets were sold out for the next 2 events. I don't know where they get it from.

    Don't worry Stacy, i'm sure the smell of your burgers will lure people from far and wide.

    No need to get uppity with the paper, or even to correct it right away... isn't a better story if you play along? Get them to run a reminder in November, then there's an opportunity to get another story out of it when night is still so popular you've been "persuaded" by the ever-growing numbers to carry on all winter!
