I agree partly, new faces are needed, level of service from many of the parlour girls hasn't really changed that much, with the odd exception, but i too, where i used to stop in at northampton when passing near(ish) or would deviate a little to fit a punt in, am now looking elsewhere, for example i'm going north in a couple of weeks, and instead of stopping in at STB, i've booked a punt with someone thats been in my hotlist for ages in nottingham, so will stop off there instead!
