    then that really is it, tbh.

    Come to think of it. Colman's might have fcked off by now (or at least be in the process of doing so)
    I like Norwich. Some cracking pubs and a top, top-quality cathedral.

    What's that pub just behind the cathedral? 750 years old or somesuch? That's a nice place.

    Wandsworth? I thought he was Croydon?

    The Maid's Head?

    Not been to Norwich for a while. There is a church at on most street corners, though most are now book/charity/coffee shops now.

    Fun fact: Hitler had ear-marked the CityHall has his residency once he had invaded Britain

    No, I looked it up. It's this won.

    I did know that. Oddly enough, I think it was mentioned in an Alan Partridge spoof documentary.

    Never been in there. Then again I don't go that often.

    A visit to the Chapelfield shopping centre was the last time I was there. Deep fúcking joy...

    You're right - I looked it up in Wiki. But according to a by piece by him in the New Yorker he grew in Croydon. I would post a link but I am sure you wouldn't want to read it

    I may go there in May to visit my chum who lives on a boat. I may not stay on his boat, though. I may get a hotel. I'm far too old to sleep on canal boats.

    It is nice - my cousin works at the cathedral, actually got married there. We stayed in a b&b in the green behind it. Went on a substantive research mission to the pubs. Very impressed

    I read it anyway. Imagine drinking in a soulless former bank like The Spread Eagle when the Dog and Bull is five minutes' walk away. And nobody in their right mind would drink in a Wetherspoon's like The Richmal Crompton.

    Silly c'nt.

    My experience of Norwich is a pub near the ground which I'm pretty sure is long gone and also the Compleat Angler, a nice pre-match píss up in the sun by the river

    But different than the day before'
