Goodbye Greenalls

Article Abstract:

Pub operator Greenalls sold its pubs and restaurants division to Scottish & Newcastle for 1.13 billion pounds sterling in September 1999, marking the end of its 200 years in the pubs sector. The company, which has 779 managed pubs, 42 tenanted pubs and 71 lodge hotels, plans to focus on its hotels and leisure business but there is investor speculation that another bidder may acquire its remaining assets.

Terminator toads

Article Abstract:

Organic gardens rarely contain a plague of bugs that consume healthy plants. An insufficient water amount or lack of nourishment is most attractive to bugs. Toads are more conventional companions than cats and they enjoy looking for food in gardens. Among the bugs in their diet are crickets, pilly bugs, squash bugs, and spiders.
