Agreed Snoops, however, the idea could be used and improved on don'cha think?

Home page: piccie of nice traditional pub with swinging sign - enter through door

Next: series of doors, Snug etc (and the lavvy for all the saucy youtube clips Berek finds)

Etc. etc.

Growler is, I believe, something of a whiz with web design - get him on the job!

On a serious note for a nanosecond?

Do we think the pub is missing anything? It would be possible to add some extra graphics and stuff if anybody thought it necessary.

Personally, I like the fact that it is quite simple and easy to navigate ? easy to see what has happened and it loads quite quickly (even from a 21.6K dial-up connection). The real treasure here is in the contributions from the members rather than the skills of a team of programmers?

There are a number of ?themes? that can be applied to the site to change the look and feel plus numerous ?add-on? features that can be downloaded and applied?

However, I also like the fact that there are no pop-up ads or any other form of promotion on the site ? it is provided free of charge by the original members that funded the original costs and now run it. I?d hate to see it turn into a commercial venture where the real agenda is to get you to buy stuff?
