WE all know it’s tough out there in the business world and has been for some years now.

So it is sad to hear news of a successful and well-known bar in Poole suffering a fire yesterday.

Luckily the damage did not spread to the main restaurant at Harry’s in Canford Cliffs, but it left staff facing a major headache, not least with a large birthday party to cater for tomorrow.

It’s the last thing that any business needs and we hope that it can get back to normal quickly.
