Svenska Dagbladet Näringsliv - Så ska britternas 'andra vardagsrum' räddas

Written by Charlotta Buxton, published on Wednesday 2nd August, 2023.

Roughly translated … “This is how the British 'second living room' will be saved. Now a record number of pubs are closing - the British 'second living room' is facing a historic crisis. But there is a solution to save the pubs. The method, which has been described as 'fantastic', has now become widespread.” … Further translation to follow.

Hej! Some quick background on this pretty unique story. Dave behind the bar took a call from a 'famous' Swedish newspaper. They had learned about Christmas in July and other community activities that are run at The Swan. From that, Mark a photographer, arranged to come in during one our quiz nights, people might remember seeing him. Charlotta then interviewed Micky over the phone and this is the result! You can see it online at Svenska Dagbladet. Hälsningar till våra vänner i Sverige!
