So what hours are your local going to be open to come November 24th then when the new regime kicks in. Can't find things out from the Brighton and Hove council site but anyone in the LDCC area can see what is going on at http://www.lewes.gov.uk/business/4238.asp

Most of my old haunts in Seaford are going to be open until 12.

The Revenge Nightclub is planning on staying open until 6am at weekends. Lots of others until 4am, presumably so that people can then leave and get the first trains home!

A lots of pubs probably haven't had their new licenses granted yet. One local council didn't even have a department to deal with the new license applications until 3 weeks before the deadline for submission. Speaking to a local landlord, when he phoned up to ask why his new license hadn't come through yet, he was told that he'd be lucky to have it before November as there was such a backlog.

Mid Sussex, so I'm told. I may be incorrect, my post was just relating what I'd been told in good faith by friends in the industry.

Just because pubs have late licences, doesn't mean they will automatically stay open all hours.

Many of them only want the opportunity for special events and occasions. The cost to the average country or small town pub of being open until 4am will be prohibitive, plus they have to find staff who will agree to do it.

Clubs & bars in places like Brighton will be the only ones who will really milk it.

I think long term it could be a good thing, but in the short term, I'm dreading it, particularly from a work point of view.

I would have thought your lot will be laping up the overtime.

My local has a 1:30 late for Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Do they bollox, you'd think if you saw it - if its not busy they'll close at 11:30 on Wednesday. Thursday's always mental and often gets pushed to 2:00 (its opposite the cop station and gets concessions for keeping it utterly fight-free)

Most pubs won't use their licences most nights, unless theres people there to take advantage of it.
