ITV Calendar Visits The Fox and Coney What an exciting week! ITV Yorkshire's Calendar News asked us if they could come along to the Fox and Coney for a live broadcast into their flagship 6 o'clock News programme last night - and, of course, we were only too happy to help!
You can watch it here! Political correspondent Ben Erlam and the Calendar camera crew, Phil Iveson and Richard Sowden, were reporting on how the Budget will affect the lives of people in South Cave. Many thanks to Adam des Forges and Colin Dennis for agreeing to be interviewed and many of our other locals for volunteering to be seen in the background!
They also spoke to landlord Chris Duckworth and suggested that the Chancellor's declaration that there would be no new increases in alcohol tax would be good for business. Chris, though, explained that that wasn't strictly true because the last government left an alcohol escalator in place which means a 7% increase on beer, which will add 10p to a pint of beer.
Malcolm Watson, a financial advisor from Smailes Goldie Financial Management, also came along to give his view of the budget - and agreed there was limited appeal for anyone sitting in the pub at the time.
But a huge thank you to Calendar for visiting us in South Cave. What a nice bunch they are!
