the end for the black & white?

Not likely - we got a tip off (mainly to make sure no one was around & in danger) about ten minutes before, saying the Black & White was going to be raided for the last time ever! Funny how I'd just mentioned it... Anyway, it was all very peaceful (we weren't allowed to take photos I'm afraid) a couple of vans parked across the road, lots of Police, the usual crowd and the helicopter chased someone through Montpelier. BUT not only were we told that they were shutting the place down and securing it, but also they only arrested two people for possession! TWO!

Anyway, it's open again. The most raided place in England isn't gonna close that easily! I've been doubting the merits of celebrating the closure of a compulsory purchase order then raiding it and shutting it down... seems a bit like a heavy-handed way of kicking them out for good. More ammo for their appeal or something.
