Sefton pubs
Saracen's Head, Halsall

IT'S a depressing sight watching the rising tide of pubs closing as the credit crunch bites.
This is while an unsympathetic government combats the so-called problem of binge drinking by chucking another four pence on the price of a pint. Which is about as constructive to ensuring the survival of our locals as nominating a one-legged man for a bum kicking contest.
Last year, 1,409 alehouses closed in this country compared with 216 in 2006 so you don't have to be Nostradamus to see the trends here.
So when one rises Lazerus-like to reopen its doors it's cause for celebration.
