"sailing boats darting erratically from side to side along the river without consideration for any other vessel."

 

Made me smile.......

Nice to see some advertisement. Once again no Hoseasons in sight. Well done Herbert woods though.

Hmmmmmm, good stuff and good to see the pubs getting a plug too. I think the claim of 5,000 pubs in Norfolk sounds very iffy to me, if only! 

[vanessan]

And 'most visitors cruise from pub to pub' - I wonder??!!

This is what you miss Gracie when you are hiding down below !

P.s. With regards to the 5000 pubs, perhaps you had better go and check that figure out Howard! I am sure there will be others willing to tag along with you in the quest! 

[Labrador]

If you go to norfolk pubs.co.uk their homepage proclaims currently 5000 pubs in Norfolk. Don't know when that page was created.

I think that's probably a bit out of date Lab. There were only 50,000 pubs in the UK in 2014 probably a good few less now. So I think 10% of UK pubs is probably a bit much. I'll check with my colleagues in Norwich CAMRA to get a definitive number. 

Incidentally the Norfolk pubs is an excellent resource but does list every pub including all the closed ones. So there may be some confusion there. I will check though

Just looking at the home page again it says " 5,000 pubs currently listed" bit confusing but I'm pretty sure it means all pubs listed on the database (including closed ones) rather than currently trading (if that makes sense) :-)

The comment about the erratic sailing boats didn't make me smile much.... predictable nonsense, from someone who by his own admission was drinking into the early hours that night and had the hangover from hell the next day... Oh goody, and now he's at the controls of this big boat he is incapable of handling (by his own admission) past a few sailing boats on the Thurne. 

 

[ChrisB]

And if he had been drinking into the early hours he would still be over the limit the next morning for driving on the roads.

[Baitrunner]

Do you not think there is a bit of journalistic licence going on here? 

Ok it's a not a good example but at the end of the day it's almost an advert? 

Come and have fun, drink and eat and be happy. 

[Gracie]

I agree with Mark, although it did appear to come across as though he was just on a pub crawl and 5000 of them, Howard would never come home  The comment about the Sailie thingies, even I know that's how these beautiful Boats sail, absolutely nothing to do with disregard for other river users, how about that, coming from me lol

Ha, ha, alas Grace 5,000 is no more. I've checked with the Chairman (no less) of Norwich CAMRA and the figure now is more like 770. What Hitler failed to do Watneys and latterly Tesco, McDonald's and the Co-op have done for the rest

I thought hen parties were good for the pub trade? 

[Gracie]

What's Chickens got to do with this topic may I ask? You asked for this, Charlie.......

A devout Cowboy lost his Bible while he was mending fences out on the Range. Three weeks later a chicken walked up to him carrying the Bible in it's mouth, the devout Cowboy couldn't believe his eyes. He took the precious book out of the chickens mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed

"It's a miracle!"

"Not really" said the chicken "Your name is written inside the cover"

Grace

p.s As you can probably guess, I've got a bit of time on my hands today
