RE: Enterprise to auction 8 pubs for £15.5m

"Ted Tuppen has argued that the public auction strategy does not amount to selling the pubs because the company retains an operational interest"

That's a very heavy duty sentence with fascinating semantics Teddy Boy.

You sell something but you haven't sold it because you retain an operational interest?

You operate pubs but you don't, actually, operate pubs at all, yet this still gives you an 'operational interest'?

You're selling the family silver is what you're doing.

How's the George Canning in Camberwell doing doing since your company blew £140K turning it round? Looking forward to the open day on 4 February.
