Fat Badger, The

The story opens along now familiar lines. An old boozer with a reputation for determined drinking and music so loud that the glass used to bend. Galloping to the rescue come three bright young men full of experience blended with enthusiasm and supported by serious piles of dosh, and within a remarkably short space of time the whole place has been transformed, the terminal drinkers have departed for other bars and the new well-to-do bring their own cool to a décor that leaves little to the imagination.
