I am hoping that you have - by now - found out who the new General Manager is to be, but I am guessing it is not as a result of anyone informing you on this defunct forum.
Well I can tell you his name is Aaron (possibly the wrong spelling) but I don't know if he comes with his own rod.
I have heard that one of his initial objectives is to increase the licensing hours for the pub, but this may not be true.
I hope it's not true, as he has his hands full with organising a proper clean-up of the toilets before he pisses-off the neighbours even more than they are already, wouldn't you think?
My informal advice to him is going to be to leave a bit of slack in his shirt when tucking it into the top of his belted jeans, but this is going to be a quiet word in private, away from prying ears.
