New chairman for British Bear & Pub Association
It's amazing what you find in the Caterer archives. Take this for example, Hercules the bear who popped in for a pint at a Holiday Inn at Heathrow airport. It was sometime ago but no doubt someone will remember sitting next to him on the procedding flight, as there's nothing worse than a drunken bear stealing your complimentary peanuts. Perhaps with swathes of regulation hitting the pub industry, rising costs, licensing fees and continual clashes about drinking fuelling anti-social behaviour Hercules could be just the sought of strong, unflinching force the pub industry needs. British Bear & Pub Association anyone?
