Recent Developments on Soi LK Metro or lack of same!

Back in December I wrote about the Blue Moon changing hands. Well, the Norwegian bloke who bought it has it on the market as of now.

Zion House, the motorbike hire shop across the street from Metro Apartments is also on the market as is The Haven Bar next door to it. So business is looking up for the local sign makers!

The local constabulary have been in the street again checking licences, IDs of staff and in some instances 'pee'. In keeping with good policing they have visited places at random, so no doubt we'll see them soon.

The credit crunch is still having an unpredictable effect on some tourists' plans. There have been a few short notice cancellations of late in the street as money becomes more scare and jobs insecure. I suspect there will not be as many lads 'songkraning' next week.

Elsewhere in town, in Soi Yamato to be exact, The Clinic Sports Bar is still on the market with occasional interested parties making enquiries according to Derek.

On Third Road, Gordon who used to run Memories in Soi LK Metro has now opened a bar called The Fairway. No surprises for guessing that he is a golfer!

Over the last few weeks we've had a number of lads in from Co. Down and Co. Armagh. It's a nice change to meet nice lads with a 'Nornirish' accent - made me feel like I was back in a local.
