It would, of course, have helped if I'd put in the correct link!

Returning to the image which started this thread: I've just been sent a link. See here. Anyone interested?

King's Head in my day. Let's hope it's successful. https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/things-to-do/food-reviews/new-landlords-reopen-rivergarden-thorpe-st-andrew-7853156?fbclid=IwAR0xMJXMclJBK0IF_qcaZ0bgIRgK3jadj9Vr0wlRsBHRwFeOWFjhXpmXniQ

In my small local this would be easy. If the door's shut someone's inside, if it's open then it's available for use. :)

Had my AZ jab six weeks ago at the GPs and was told I'll get a call in 10-12 weeks' time for the second one. It seems to have worked as a blood test taken last week shows the presence of SARS-CoV-2 S-antibodies. Strangely, there's no trace at all of the Gates' Chip.

Just like what used to go on inside... ...a pub.

I'm now old enough to have sufficient loose skin on the back of my neck. It seems to work for cats and dogs.

It must be quite a significant piece of work. They certainly do take info from 3rd parties as I've supplied some and quite a lot of recent detail is lacking – hardly surprising with the rate of change in the industry of late. By the way, anyone else seen this?

Norfolk Pubs site seem to suggest that Admiral might have leased it to Angliatime, whoever they are. http://www.norfolkpubs.co.uk/norfolks/surlingham/surlifh.htm

I remember, as a kid in the late '60s, the local TV news always reporting the first delivery of beer for the season coming by boat. Pretty certain it was Greene King in those days.

After reopening a few backs after a period of closure that too seems to have gone good now. https://whatpub.com/pubs/NOR/331/suspension-bridge-tavern-great-yarmouth

Same here. Been using the overlays and the spyglass feature for ages but had never discovered the side by side option.

Got a trip to Spain booked in September, carried over from last September. You never know, might manage to get to go on that, but only if things seem pretty stable as I got caught out at the start of all this. I had driven to Sweden via the Netherlands and Germany in January, flew back in mid February with return fight booked in April to pick up the car only to find myself trapped here and the car 1500miles away and unreachable!

My left arm had its first delivery of 50,000,000,000 recombinant, replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus particles, courtesy of AstraZeneca, yesterday. No issues so far other than the expected slightly sore muscle. Can't wait for this whole thing to be ancient history.

Look what I've stumbled across:- A piano at the Wherry... ...along with Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew...

Can you remember if there was a piano as mentioned in the linked blog post?

Well, I did threaten... (Evelyn Simak's pic of the former Wherry Inn is reused under this license.) Wherry Inn, Langley.

Buck bought by Black Orange from Enterprise Inns ( I think) in 2019. Anyone fancy renting it?

I've been away too long! When I was passing through the Methwold area I used to have to rely on the George as the Green Man had closed a few years earlier. Good to hear that it's reopened at some time – and is still operating. A bit of good news on the pub front.

There were steps directly up to it from the southern platform. It was called Martingale and then the Top House when I used to travel through the village. Al Partington's pic – The Railway Tavern, Reedham – from August 2007 (reusable under this CC license)

Pretty certain that in the mid-'70s the Bell had a bell bolted to the floor in the lobby. On the way home to Yarmouth from a rugby match, armed with a socket set, a few of us asked a bloke for assistance to carry it to the car. Turned out to be the manager. He took in good humour. I'm pretty sure it was the Thetford Bell.

Were it not for this forum I doubt that I'd have heard about this. Back in the late '70s Ray – I knew him as Ray – used to regularly come south my local, The Highlands in Gorleston, to play darts on his night off. Our darts team were in the same division in the Norwich Brewery league and away matches were always, err, ...memorable. Sad news.

Egon Ronay listed, wasn't it?

On signs, and going back to the Eagle in Neatishead. Its sign used to be in Fat Cat in Norwich at one time. Might even still be there.
