The new Hotel Du Vin in the Grassmarket has got its liquor licence at last . The comment from the administration is that this shows that “the licensing committee has been tough”. Except that the same licensing committee knocked back the application late last year because they didn’t want more licensed premises only for the leader and deputy leader to have public spat about it and the decision is reversed. What was that I was saying about no sense of direction!
