Owners of such facilities should be subjected to the same treatments as as the defenceless animals they make their dirty money on. Maybe they would learn something. I would like to provide a home to some of these poor dogs but we are getting a bit long in the tooth. Bit of a struggle to take care of our two somedays.

Back in the late 60s me and a few friends used to frequent The Grosvenor on Mansfield Rd. Warm Home Ales bitter or mild was the drink of choice back then.
