Having worked in and around pubs for many years, let me tell you, for the hours worked, barnsty is right.

OK, there are some that are bustling, but go to Kalgoorlie, some pubs are struggling.

Lots of young people get tipsy before going out and take mothers little helpers.

Many hours a pub will be open with no patrons, bills still keep ticking over, power, repairs wages, fines etc etc etc

To keep a pub in vogue cost a lot of money as well expensive decor and bands etc.

Its a lucky publican thats a rich publican these days. Oh, and the best profit is from post mix
