Tommy is brilliant and has been servicing our boiler for several years now. He’s really good at explaining the issues and when we should bother or not bother with work. He’s honest, reliable and a throughly nice bloke. Can’t recommend enough. -
Having said I wasn't going to get drawn in, I strongly object to being called a troll by the most notorious troll there has ever been on here since the forum started. Louisa, please provide evidence that I've edited posts "to try and change the narrative away from my conspicuous trolling". And while you are doing that, you can also provide evidence of my "trolling". You won't be able to do either of those things, but you have achieved what I'm sure was your aim of greatly annoying me. So congratulations. Now please just STFU and go back to Norfolk. -
A friend who lives in the next road says the word on the street is that a young Irish family is taking over the Blythe. But also, some local (to the pub!) people were looking into the possibility of it becoming a community owned pub, which would have been nice. Who knows. Wait and see, eh. Fingers crossed and hope it doesn't change too much 😭 There aren't many pubs like the Blythe left 😭

This isn't twenty years hence, this has been happening since the beginning of the millennium. Brewery and pub chains have been selling off their wet pubs (ie ones that don't do food) and many have closed to be redeveloped as domestic properties. The MMC report that broke up the power of the big breweries had an unexpected outcome in that it has contributed to a decline in the number of pubs. Tastes have changed, we drink less, and where we do drink this is more often at home. There is more choice on the telly, and other on screen activities such as what I am doing now. Con is retiring and I hope the Blythe stays loosely the same. I had a chat with him tonight and will play a song for the bar staff. I'll keep drinking in the Castle, so hope this continues to trade.
