On my last 2 visits recently to Golden Cock I have also noticed that when the owner is around the boys are less forthcoming. On both occasions I've had 3 boys around me unzipped and playing. The owner keeps looking over the counter, which I don't like anyway, and then walks down the bar says something to the boys and returns to the bar. The boys then zip up and just talk. He's obviously said something to them, I pay the bill and leave. I don't think there is any more police activity than usual at the moment, the only explanation I can think of is he's pushing the boys to get a bar fine, that's surely where he makes his money.
