I'm sure there's a market for purple themed bars in Sydenney. I’m half tempted to become a booze entrepreneur myself, John, if they go the way of Melbourne and flog licences off for 5 grand.

I should have been honoured to "give you the tour." But you are right, the bars blow. Big Time! Recent changes to inner city planning laws and some street-rescaping, while being a disaster for the short-term prospects of existing businesses, will provide some opportunities for savvy booze-entrepreneurs. Hopefully, your next Tour will be more rewarding. Mark
