    Nobody has mentioned toilets! bit difficult to social distance and/or have somebody counting how many using the facilities,and exiting which usually means  touching of the handles on exiting. John

    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. :)

    with astra/zeneca we were told 12 week gap via the surgery

    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. :default_laugh:

    It's a bit of a a Scotch egg syndrome in some ways - somebody who should know better trying to think on their feet and causing the media to go into overdrive.

    But - as someone who has a more than a passing interest in pubs I agree that a healthy airing of views can only be a positive. 

    Just like what used to go on inside... 

    ...a pub. :default_beerchug:

    See what you mean. I wonder if that was one of Mr H's "companies" ??

    The Norfolk pubs site is excellent. I think they do get information from third parties so this might have got lost slightly in translation? It is at the time Mr H sub let it so that would tie in. 

    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?

    That was always my understanding. I wouldn't be suprised if, going back many years, beer could have even been delivered via the river. 

    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.

    Having stopped at YYS many times since the 60s I can't remember ever going into the Swan.

    Early holidays with my mates it was always dashing off to the bright lights of Yarmouth, and then later with our children and then grandchildren it was off the boat and down to the seaside.

    We did use the Suspension Bridge Tavern at least a couple of times though.

    After reopening a few backs after a period of closure that too seems to have gone good now.

    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!

    More Covid Restrictions Announced.

    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.

    Thanks for the Wherry pic Stewart. Went to have a look at it a couple of years back. Only managed to have a drink there a couple of times.

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

    Twas opposite the station :default_biggrin:

    It wasn't near the river, you had to walk past Sandersons yard and carry on up the hill.  About 10 minutes or so. Longer back. :default_drinks: Happy days.

    Edit - the building is still there but its flats now. 

    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.

    Off topic slightly - Thetford c1982 

    Other good Broads pubs for beer - Sutton Staithe Adnams on gravity, Wood Farm and Lodge at Salhouse. Think that was the landlord from the Bure Court which sadly burnt down. Never did get in.

    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.

    I still shed a tear every time I drive past the site of the Black Horse at Hoveton. Great "old school" pub with good beer and interesting food which was definitely not from Brake Brothers.  Their rabbit pie was to die for. 

    Egon Ronay listed, wasn't it?

    Just back tracking to the Railway Tavern, this is an old sign on display at the Humpty Dumpty Brewery. Shows the original logo.

    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.
