		<description><![CDATA[One of Preston&#8217;s most famous drinking holes will continue to trade despite its parent company going into administration. The pumps will keep being pulled at The Old Black Bull, on Friargate, according to its landlord Stan Eaton. Mr Eaton, who has been the licencee since 1990, told the Lancashire Evening Post on Friday: &#8220;All I can say is it is everything as usual. It means [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lesley Threlfall knows more than most people about helping alcoholics. She has worked with them for 10 years. So when someone with her experience criticises the government’s alcohol policy, it’s worth listening. “On paper the strategy seems good, but when you see it in more detail it doesn’t look as great,” she said.
