Description

Exterior of the Builders Arms. Views of the video game - players winning the machine get a pint of Skol lager which is costing landlord Mike Cowley-Shaw a fortune in lost revenue. John Swallow talks to him about the problem as the brewery thought that pensioners wouldn't be able to do it but have been caught out by younger players used to the reactions needed to play video games.
