Locals take over the Bear at Home Inn, North Moreton

United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) April 30, 2008 -- Oxfordshire England -- (ArriveNet - Jan 09, 2006) -- An Oxfordshire pub has been taken over by the locals. No it's not a revolution nor even a minor uprising, it's just that the Landlord has left the pub to the drinking locals to run it themselves for a month. Tim Haworth the new landlord had recently taken over management of the Bear at Home Inn, North Moreton, when he suddenly announced that he was going on a Christmas holiday for a month leaving his business behind with no management nor bar staff in his stead. Not wanting the pub to close, the friendly (and not really that revolting) locals have stepped into the breach to run the pub on a daily basis, opening every day, lunchtimes and evenings. You would expect that they might invite all their friends and drink the pub dry, all for free, but that was not the case. The locals have been honest and hard working and have paid all the pub's takings into Tim's bank account. Business has been phenomenal and a fun time is being had by all, locals and paying customers. Having a new landlord every day seems to add to the charm of what is already a very lovely and quaint olde Englishe pubbe. The real landlord who has just returned from his vacation, is reputed to be stunned by the response of the locals in keeping his business running. His jaw has been seen trailing on the bar floor, still amazed by the good job they have all done. Interviewed on this subject by Central Television in the New Year Tim has supposedly just started planning his next holiday...
