• Inn keeping?

We none of us like being kept awake at night - I know, my students regularly make my site sound like Wembley Stadium emptying at 3am but I wonder where these people objecting to their village pub getting a late license have been living all their lives.  Certainly not in any village I know, where long before the new licensing laws such pubs would probably have had "lock-ins" at least as late as the 1am this guy is now asking for:

Residents said they were worried extended opening hours would lead to parking congestion and noise problems.

A pub which opened into the early hours was out of keeping with the character of a small village, they added.
