Beeb probes pump slump

By Steve Green on Dec 10, 08 01:20 AM

Friday night's edition of BBC 2's The Money Programme focusses upon Britain's imploding pub industry and includes reporter Max Flint interviewing CAMRA's own Mike Benner. It's a chilling glimpse of a future in which more than 4000 pubs are forecast to vanish within the next two years.

You can catch the show at 7pm, then show your support for the industry by going out and buying a pint before your local becomes yet another Tesco Express.
