O tempores, o mores.

Phil, they have closed the refectories.
One has become a night club another they will use them to store unwanted
library books.(ie most of them!)

But... there are pubs are open in Bangor at 9:00 am now, it is enough to
drive one to drink.

However this is useful data in a conversation elsewhere in the use CHAT in
