I was wondering the same thing!

Or at least ask you to email them a photo?

There was a short time when a really nice and enthusiastic couple ran it, renamed it The Cherry Tree and brought in an excellent chef, but the owners chucked them out and it went downhill again 🙄

It's been going on for years, unfortunately. There is no "ex-offenders scheme", and the stuff they sell is over priced and very poor quality.

I think part of the problem - apart from some people's pure selfishness - is that there are no sanctions if you don't wear a mask. Virtually nobody gets fined, and others are scared to say anything for fear of the kind of reaction NewWave got. It's very depressing.

Rumour had it that he left after his version of an incident did not match what was on CCTV. And the pub was already Antic.

This is more encouraging news (though again, the research hasn't yet been peer reviewed:) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/18/96-of-britons-develop-antibodies-after-one-covid-jab-study-finds?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other After two jabs, people on immune suppressing medication seem to be as well protected as others.

Yawn

Do you know if there was a second part to the film showing them being put together in the park?

😂

I stand corrected 😂

That's good to know, because as far as I can see I have neither spawn nor tadpoles. Though mine was frogspawn. Two lots just seemed to disappear, and I don't think it was eaten by predators as I thought I had protected the sink pretty carefully.
