Probably better now Andy and Morrell aren't working there!
But that was in 1982 with Duran Duran in the charts, me wearing my green leather french connection trews and painful and expensive shoes on our feet.
One lunchtime an older guy started boasting to us that he was in the moody blues. we obviously didn't look like we believed him so he told us he had a sawn off shotgun in the back of his jensen outside.
Gabe the owner told us he was a complete bullshitter.

Rose and Crown, Bury St Edmunds
Used to go there daily whilst at school in the late '70's but had an odd experience one day...
Walked in and the landlady's daughter accused my friend and I of making some sort of 'prank' phone call. It seems that her first husband was 'carrying on' with a newer, slimmer model (male or female-we never found out) and it was something to do with that. Should've sued and got free beer for life!

last time I went in here was the summer of 1983 with Andy Gerrish. I was manager of the old, open air swimming pool up the road. They'd just got a new beer in - 'oranjeboom' which seemed to creep up on us on the walk back to the pool.
Apologies if you came to grief in the deep end , that afternoon, and we didn't notice.

"We went to this pub a few years ago and never went back" -then goes on to say that they recently tried the food!
Was it passed out of a window to them?

"I suggest that they chose the Trowel and Hammer for a roper welcome "
If the trowel and hammer is so good why do they need to use a lasso?

Just a query...
Victoria6 says "many of the regulars refuse to go".
I can't get my head round this.
I'll give it 9 out of ten because Heather Stewart-whyte lives in the village.

We had come all the way from Bury St. Edmunds to see a camper van, so when we saw the blackboard promising a 'famous cream tea' within, we could not resist...
Unfortunately, the luke warm tea, a tea bag in a coffee cup, was served long before the scones, and was stone cold by the time the latter arrived.
The scone was also quite cold and hard as though it had awaited our arrival in the fridge.
A 'famous' cream tea needs to be serverved with a tea pot hot water. The scone must at least show some pretence of being fabricated some time that week.
In their defence - there was an 'adequate' amount of cream.

The Queens Head, Bury St Edmunds
Plush quiet lounge, traditional bar,off sales in between - just right ! - BUT THAT WAS IN 1969 , when we used to help 'do the bottles' (replace stock from cellar) after school and in the summer holidays. Now it has a dirty great plasma screen and is full of idiots. Is this really what people want??
