Mekong Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Back in the early-mid 90's when working on Sizewell B NPS I rented an cottage in Aldeburgh which is approx 20 miles from Southwold and well in Adnams country. Broadside was my favourite tipple but every December for one month only there was Adnams "Tally Ho" which was marketted as "Having a kick like a draymans horse" believe me it did, that beer was only to be imbibed when no work the next day and thick curtains well drawn in the bedroom!

Mekong Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Last time I was there circa 94 they still used the shire horses and drays within Southwold itself as well as Reydon and Walberswick the two closest villages anywhere further (Dunwich to the south etc) they used trucks. A few pints of Tally Ho at the Cross Keys then stagger next door to Alderburgh Fish n Chip Shop for a Fish supper, happy memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Phil, I'll admit it I had a great time in Suffolk, Aldeburgh, Minsemere, Southwold, Orford Ness, The Benjamin Britten festival at Snape Maltings weekends on the Norfolk Broads, etc but even the closest city Ipswich was becoming Chav back then. Here in Thailand I enjoy travelling a couple of hours south to the quiet coastal villages in Pranburi province because the laid back friendly attitude reminds me somewhat of dim and distant memories of how the UK used to be. [color:blue]And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark Satanic mills Bring me my bow of burning gold Bring me my arrows of desire Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold Bring me my chariot of fire I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusty Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 adnams broadside, thats a pint Kronenburg 1664,NOW THAT IS A VERY GOOD PINT! Mind you I did have a pint of Flowers Saturday afternoon which is about as far as my Bitter drinking goes nowadays. As for "Real Ale"?I'd stop drinking altogether if this warm,flat horrible muck was all that was available. Nothing wrong with "modern" Bitters though eg Worthington creamflow,Caffrey's etc. Anyway back on topic,why is it that down my local pub here in the UK,a lot of the non-smokers,the same very people who drank a toast the day the anti smoking laws came in,insist on spending so much time hanging around the smoking area talking with people?
