Quiet night in

That's what everyone seems to have had last night. For a Saturday night it was very quiet. Part of the problem is that we have currently a very small group of regulars and if they decide not to come out we don't have any customers. It's very easy to lose customers but harder to attract new ones. The people who come in at present do so because they have always come - they treat it like their living room and get quite upset if "strangers" - as they call anyone they don't know - come in. The bar is not inviting with unsympathetic upgrading over the years leaving us with dark plywood and a scabby laminate bar top.
More planning needed.
