The brewers arms gone 😢 can’t believe it was an amazing pub in 80s hope it was saved. No Berwick advertiser ,I left in 1985 it was an amazing place to live then

Why did this shit show up on my feed?

Thank you for your interesting post have not been to Berwick for 15 years now unbelievable this once great town my aunt lived by the football ground but passed away then haven’t been back since such a shame used too take my grandchildren to Berwick holiday centre in 2007 once again thank you for sharing 😢

Hi Mark how are you doing? These vids are refreshingly honest..

Come back and see the Bear now.

My tiny 1 bedroom flat is £1,100 rent per month in Hertfordshire and I have cancer, it ridiculous. Council trying charge me £1800 on council tax a year.

I am from Hertfordshire I wanted to go to Berwick on tweed as tourist but looking at ridiculous high cost of trains, hotel, so on and cab fees £45 around the town it is a no go it ridiculous. Cheaper to go abroad.

What a whinger.

I grew up there it's a ghost town now and it used to be such a very busy place breaks my heart I would move back but there's nothing it's a disgrace how a government let's small towns die

Mate, you were too far up the street. That was never sports direct!

So sad ,they should invest in the local trade & create a bright & beautiful environment.

The only shops that seem to spring up in every town is kebab shops and Turkish barber shops

Every small town in the UK is the same my town greenock has turned into a right hole and rundown

The rollout of the goals of Agenda 21.

My mates on universal credit. It's a catch 22. He can't work more hours or his universal credit is cut but its the universal credit that helps with the rent cause he went through a nasty divorce and custody battle. So how can he really move forward. It's a depressing sight across the UK

Back in the 70s at the bottom I think in the tower was a beautiful cafe. It was always packed and I think it was on at least 2 floors.

I'm guessing that the new shopping centre at the top of the town isn't doing the high street any favours , shame because it really is a nice town

First came down to berwick early 80s a gang of us on motorbikes drank in the rum puncheon. then started going back in the late 90s up to the present day love the place shops like everywhere else is a dwindling thing now but its a cracking place for walking

fuck me i got depression just by listening to you

So gullible

If you think Berwick is broken you want to explore some towns down South. Its better to have charity shops than empty shops. You want a quaint little town but then moan the large chain shops have closed? I visited last month and did not think it was run down. You do not want a busy shopping centre. Queuing for every purchase and nowhere to park. Dirt, noise, vandalism.... Having a well paid job isnt luck! I would rather live there than here, different pace of life. I am in London and we get Peregrines killing our pigeons too! I hear you and liked the video and thought I would give my thoughts on your comments. :)

Could the drought be down to the fact the population has increased by over 1.5 million in the last 3 years? We had droughts in the 70's and the population has increased by 14 million since then. Where do you think they're supposed to get all the extra water needed from? In London alone the population is up over 600 thousand in 3 years. Surely, that has an impact on air pollution and temperature.

Good luck trying to control the weather buddy

I know it's probably too late now, but don't buy things online. Don't go to big supermarkets. Use your local high street shops.

Flip me, you’re a pint half empty kind of guy aren’t you 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Shops are closing cause high rent and all the shops moving to the new retail park away from the main street and that pub the brewers Arms is opened again

Anne-Marie Trevelyan does nothing for the town, her lot have been in power for 13 years, compare the town now to 13 years ago. The Berwick Sheep will keep voting for her

Berwickshire Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 not Northumberland

What a load of rubbish a New Hospital New Sports Centre The Malting getting rebuilt soon a New retail Park it's all going on in Berwick people need to stop running our great Town down

The plan is to sacrifice small business and turn high streets into housing for all our new residents. You can buy things online from untaxed multinational corporations and have them delivered by one of our new residents so what is there to complain about? If you are unhappy don't bother protesting, join the government and kick out the criminals who are devolving power to outside influences like the WEF and WHO et al. We can't demand our country back, no one will listen, we have to take it back, become a councillor today.

Went a few years ago; retail closed down, full of charity shops, bookmakers and young unemployed men walking the streets pushing baby buggies - a distopian atmosphere at best !

Every Town is the same all businesses are being taxed out of existence by idiot Politicians who haven't go a clue what they are doing

I was in Berwick a couple of years ago. I went back to visit because it held good memories for me from when I was a teenager (three decades earlier). It was so depressing how dingy the town had become. A lot of dodgy-looking characters hanging about in groups as well (some local hotels obviously being utilised by the Home Office, like everywhere else now). It was a shame. At least down by the water was still nice with the bridges.

My grand father rented a pub in Malta in 1914, at the outbreak of WW1. The British soldiers were his first clients. 2022. City of London bar celebrated 108 years in business. 3 generations and still going.;

Literally no one watches your pos uploads 😂

Good lord your parents were clearly siblings.

Just learnt about the Pubcos in the UK, They are very scandalous.

Not only do Pubcos lease pubs to tenants and take a cut of their profits as rent, which could disadvantage the tenants, but also the beer-tie system, where pub tenants buy most of their beer from the pubco which owns the premises, pushes wholesale prices higher.

A lot of people are giving up drinking in pubs because of the cost. The younger people and retired folk are propping the industry up.

My friend has a brewery and they run 3 puns 2 they own and 1 they lease he brews some great beer and sells it for between £2.25 and£2.50 a pint Wetherspoons will only buy it if he’s nearly giving it away. Pub prices are so high because company’s sell the beer which you have to buy for their pubs at inflated prices so the managers have to charge these prices just to try and make some money so it’s no surprise people are not going out as much. These pub chains are cutting their own throats Wetherspoons are not helping trying to pay nothing for the beers big brewers are cutting corners making cheap shit beer and charging top prices for it when you step back and look at it it’s no wonder it’s in decline

Been going on for years - 'for EVER, even! (Not to mention buying a real ale in a bottle and how much can you get from it? Not 500ml!)

I completely agree with this. My time as a landlady under a pub company was a living hell.

Own your building. These owners are not making sound business decisions.

Can't they do a class action lawsuit?

Evil!!! Typical capitalists!! So sorry for these pub owners!

That the pubco's are shysters is obvious and beyond doubt. Funnily enough they never target experienced managers who know the realities. That being said, most bar owner / operators are clueless about sales / marketing / promoting. Nor do they have the confidence to charge more for their products. Get your hands dirty and get some experience in the field before getting involved with pubco's. Cultivate and nurture promoters and influencers. Devote your energy to getting business through the door

The current generation of old people have killed off the pub tradition in Britain. Having a decent pub significantly raises local house prices. Old people have more money and are much more able to afford to live in areas with higher house prices. As a result, old people tend to live near a pub and young people don't. Therefore, it's old people's fault if their 'local' closes down. Most young people don't even have a 'local' in the first place. Maybe old people should start actually going and spending some money in their local pub rather than complaining when somewhere they give no custom to closes down.

did i understand this well? somebody rents you a pub for you to run it..he wants you to obligate to buy only those beers that he wants..and you actually sign that obligation? wtf?!

Thwaites are a shocking company they do this with the pub i'm the General Manager of. My boss rent's the lease.
