I didn't actually expect that loads of bars would be open all night overnight, but wrote what I did more for, erm, comedic effect.<BR/><BR/>And Mr. Pretzels, yes you're right the police probably did have to complain. I'm just impatient ... I moved here from a city where you can get dinner at 4 am and then go rollerskating - and I miss late-night culture.Kate Feldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215172535468962913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15707736.post-1141550081665208652006-03-05T09:14:00.000+00:002006-03-05T09:14:00.000+00:00To be fair to the Police they sorta have to compla...To be fair to the Police they sorta have to complain about every application to extend licencing hours, because of the shite they would get in if they don't and it all goes horribly wrong. As a barman I have little sympathy for them and might have more if they actually turned up on the same day when you call them for back up. The Crescent in Salford apparentley has a 24 hour licence too........Mr Pretzelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035653330569932479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15707736.post-1141495986669930882006-03-04T18:13:00.000+00:002006-03-04T18:13:00.000+00:00I think you've missed the whole point of 24 hour l...I think you've missed the whole point of 24 hour licences. It's only hysteric opponents of the new laws that thought pubs and clubs might open that long in significant numbers.<BR/><BR/>The idea is that bars should be able to open as when their owners decide, rather than some silly law designed to keep munitions workers sober during WWI. That means it will come down to when there's enough demand for it to profitable, amongst other things.<BR/><BR/>Cornerhouse is using the law exactly as intended. Over time, opening times will begin to vary to better suit the city. That will require a culture shift, and such change doesn't happen overnight.Stephen Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050387848277789711noreply@blogger.com
