This place is loosing too many regulars.
Have you ever gone back to a pub or club that used to be a favourite haunt, with loads of friendly. familiar faces, only to find it unrecognisable?
TBH, that hasn't really happened here yet.
Say for instance Simplex (remember him - cool guy who I loved debating religion with, even though we completely disagreed.) popped back in, I'm sure he would recognise loads of the names.
