Reading Roars!

Extended drinking hours have been introduced in Reading and other towns in England. It’s now the weekend - and the test begins. Gun St heavyweights The Fez and Purple Turtle will be serving until 4am, while other big players Brannigans, Mango, Po Na Na and Revolution will keep going until 3am.

What will the effect of these changes be? You will need plenty of stamina, not to mention a sizeable wad of cash to burn, to be able to make repeat visits to the bar until 4 o’ clock. And your vital organs will not benefit in the long run, either.
