its true, Merryan went, due to none payment to the bank, it is such a shame as this was a lovely cosy hotel, Orpheus went due to the bank foreclosure, White heart due to buiding on land that was not theirs to build on and costing a British family all of their savings and more in a four year court battle.

Here here! And certainly we should always try to support the local and independant businesses Competition is good and healthy and should be encouraged to keep standards high and prices competitive. Good businesses with good reputations will prosper.
