  • "It should also interest you to know that all alcohol sold in cans, bottles and wine is made in fluoridated water?
    '
    What does this mean exactly :
    .
    As far as I know, there is no one who has done any serious research into whether the fluoridated person is really more docile, easier to rule, more impressed by authority than the non-fluoridated one. There is, though, one peculiar thing: every Dutch doctor has a medical reference book listing all the current remedies. I have in front of me the book for 1984. One of the chapters is entitled 'Tranquilisers'. Looking at the 'minor tranquillisers' I find twenty-four substances: their chemical formulae do not show any connection with fluoride. However, there is also a heading 'major tranquillisers'. Of those there are twenty-seven, and seven of them are a fluoride compound. One of these is semap. It is one of the strongest anti-psychotic substances we know. This means that twenty-five per cent of the major tranquillisers are connected with floride. I do not draw any conclusions. The only thing one can say at this point is, with Alice: 'curiouser and curiouser!'
    .
    Breweries brew this concoction do you think they are attempting to do something to you outside what I have already stated?"

Hyndburn landlord gives up pub lease rather than lose money

LAST ORDERS: The Dog and Partridge has closed LAST ORDERS: The Dog and Partridge has closed

A LANDLORD has given up the leasehold on his pub for nothing rather than keep losing money.

Mark Graham, 52, had run the Dog and Partridge in Back Lane, Baxenden, for six years with his wife Elizabeth.

But it has now closed after falling customers and rising costs.

Mr Graham, who has been in the pub business for 16 years, said he believed that many other pubs like his would go the same way.

He said he had been trying to sell the lease for £60,000 but decided simply to give it up for nothing rather than continue to lose money at the pub.

Mr Graham said he had seen little help from local authorities or the brewery, Scottish and Newcastle, which owns the pub.

He said: “With the price of everything going up and customers going down we just could not survive.

“There have been a lot of problems.

“Supermarkets selling cheap beer is a problem as is the smoking ban and the change to licensing hours has had an effect.

“I’ve closed the pub and I have no idea when the brewery will open it again but enough is enough.

“I have been left with nothing after investing a lot of money and hard work.

“It used to be a job you could make a decent living out of but I am out of it now.”

Mr Graham said he had started working as a delivery driver part-time since closing the pub last week but was looking for a new career.

Brewery bosses said that it was hoped that the Dog and Partridge would reopen shortly.
