NorfolkNog Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Firstly mods - if this is inappropriate here please let me know!! Inspired by Fireman Sam, I thought I'd try out a little observation quiz. I'm not claiming these are easy and are designed to make you think. A test for the observant! All the pubs are on the Northern rivers and are in reasonable walking distance from the moorings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Ooh err, I missed this Mr Nog, I dont really pay attention to signs but I'll have a go. A - I'm thinking... B - Definitely Lion at Thurne (I hope) C - I'm thinking... D - Hmm, I'm not sure but is it The Falgate Inn? Give me time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 It is difficult - you are spot on with B - well done A is not the easiest to get to by river but is a Broads pub. You've been in C very recently You are very close with D - if you happen to know the landlord and landlady it makes sense (lovely couple) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I think perhaps the rest of us should leave these boys to play their guessing games. ☹️ I think I might try and find the time to produce some scenic pictures to identify for us ladies and the non-drinkers (or light drinkers - if indeed there are any!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 ......just leaves D - excellent pub. The sign is on a pillar in the middle of the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light drinkers! Is there such a thing? Don't be put off lady V - need to get you and Helen and Jean in training. I might do gin menus next time. It was difficult - I'll have a think.

Gracie Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 D - Bridge Inn at Acle?? Jay and Grace x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I have no idea on any of these!! Did think about starting a quiz of my own but as I’ve only been in one pub this trip so far, and posted from there last night, I don’t think it would be very difficult! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned to Lady V I'll have a go at something else, maybe a more general picture quiz might be better. Leave it with me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Ah, sorry Grace - The Bridge is an excellent pub and Phil and Ness are a lovely couple. However the picture is from another (in my humble opinion) excellent pub I'm getting myself confused here!! (not difficult) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Surlingham Ferry. A very wild guess. (I can almost hear the ‘tuh’s’). ...and it’s no use starting off a gin menu theme. Love it, but can’t afford it, apart from the very occasional treat. Gin menu = crazy prices! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Maybe do a trip advisor reports quiz on pubs, not local to broads but one of my locals..... Strangest Landlord Ever I came into this pub for a quick drink before moving on, it has the strangest landlord I have ever seen running a pub constantly swearing this rude man really loved the sound of his own voice. He then proceeded to break wind & stink his own pub out walking round the place saying "That's a good one I haven't done one as good as that for ages" I could not believe what I was seeing & hearing he must of been nearly 70 & acting like a delinquent child, The music was on the jukebox & he proceeded to spin round & round telling everyone that this was "Northern soul dancing" more likely an excuse to break wind again & spread it about the pub even quicker, his staff seemed a bit embarrassed by him & I felt sorry for them. A strange man indeed, the good points were that the beer was good the place was clean & the staff were polite & friendly & I would of given this place 4 stars if it wasn't for the person running it. I left & headed off to somewhere normal. The worrying bit is that anyone that drinks in there regular WILL recognise it straight away from this report. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
