A non free house, The Calypso Arms, has escaped being closed down by its owner, the Welsh brewery Cerebrum Ltd. The pub, located in the often overlooked North Pembrokeshire town of Abersglod, was expected to call time for the last time last week but has shocked its regulars by remaining in trade.
Mrs. Harriet Jones, the landlady of the pub for seven years, was equally taken aback:
"I don't understand it. I thought we did everything right. We had good beer, good food, a warm welcoming atmosphere as well as comfortable takings but for some reason they did not shut us down. Other pubs in the area have been obliterated by unfair charges from our brewery but we have somehow got out alive."
We contacted a spokesperson for Cerebrum Ltd. who told us that "while we are doing our best to shut down all small community pubs, regretfully there are some we have to let go."
We assume the locals of Abersglod will be celebrating this rare triumph, and hopefully not at home with a six pack of lager.
