| Alice_RW: Oops! Yes, you're right, I did get my pubs mixed up! I was thinking of the Quebec Tavern! I'm pretty certain I never got to try the Baker's Arms before it shut, sadly. I apologise for upsetting you regarding a pub you (and others) clearly held dearly. I only discovered my mistake last night, when the missus had insisted on checking on the net for the BA's whereabouts (before we headed out to a pub that didn't exist anymore) after not recognising it on a stylised Woodforde's Pub Stops of Norwich map we've got (it's a few years old). She came on here and I then recognised your quotes of mine! I see from the Google Maps link on here and via the Street View, that there's a couple of houses with a bricked-up frontage, as if it was a shop or pub previously, to the left of the chip shop on St Leonard's. I have vague recollections of there being a (closed-down) pub on this spot - I take it this is where it was. I will however, take my right to reply on your character assassination. I take great offence at the line "...probably because you've spent too much time in trendy wine bars and forgotten what a good pub is!" Let's be clear: what I reported on, I saw. I just got the name of the pub wrong. I know a good pub and a bad pub when I see one. And I detest trendy wine bars and the w*nkers they attract. I've walked past the QT a fair few times since, on my way into the city for a night out, and haven't felt any desire to see if things have changed in there. There's plenty of better choices desperate for my patronage. Also, you may have overlooked the clue to my character in my choice of username: GingerBear. The ginger bit is obvious, the bear (aside being a reference to how hairy I am) is a nod to the Norfolk pronunciation of beer, such is my love of both proper beer and the Norfolk way. So don't misread me on the 'not from round 'ere' bit either. I'm as East Anglian as they come; born in Essex, briefly lived in Norfolk, grew up in Suffolk, now living in Norfolk again. Oh and last night? We ended up nipping down a lovely local, The Cottage. GingerBear - 9 Apr 2011 09:47 |

| This pub is still shut. It's a shame, but it is a victim of the decline of the good old "local", spent many years in here with david and Maureen, Owen and Dot etc. Waggsie - 9 Aug 2010 09:25 |
| Boarded up again, it has not done any good since Steve & Francine left, It also used to be a good pub when Owen kept it to. steviebabyxxx - 8 Jul 2009 01:01 |
| Visited on a saturday afternoon and there were about 2 people there. no ales on. its nice location means that a lot of people wouldn't ever know it existed. alundra - 14 Jul 2008 10:23 |
