Several months ago Chris sold Lilo Lils which became known as 3-Som and was run by a young American lass called Sam. Well, Sam has now gone to Kuwait and the place is being run by an affable guy from Florida called Jason. He called by the Metro last night and we had a drink or two and a chat. A nice bloke who I forgot to ask what the name 3-Som meant and oddly for an American wears a West Ham Utd shirt!
City officials have been 'down our soi' and closed a few establishments for not having licences up-to-date. Having had a few phone calls it seems to be a case of previous owners not having paid some fee or other and then the 'new' owner comes on the scene unaware of the unpaid licence and indeed in some cases unaware of the existence of the licence in the first place. Strange as it may seem but there does not seem to be anywhere where you can get a definitive list of what is needed, from whom and for how much. Perhaps not so strange!!
Brian has got his builder doing some work in his new bar across from the Metro. I don't know what he wants to call it yet - must ask him. The Indian restaurant just up the street from there - near the Blue Moon - is also progressing. I expect both places will probably open beginning of next month.
Les, FCUK Inn, is getting married soon - October if I recall the date on the invitation correctly.
