4 crews - ouch. At least it's the quiet season but doesn't bode well for it being open spring this year.

 

[sailorman]

Quite so.
i am awaiting local info

Sad news after they had recently opened again. We were looking forward to a visit this year.

Is it my bizzare sense of humour or did anyone else think Sailorman was an arsonist.....

65-67, a standard Sunday jaunt, when the tide and weather served, was to sail the Enterprise down to the Ferry, over the bar and offer bathers at the beach a ride up and down for sixpence a go. Usually made enough to fund fish and chip lunch at the Ferry and a pint each at the R. Arms on the way back upriver - they never worried about our damp clothing or being under age. On a good day, we could also afford a pint off Albert in the Maybush after putting the boat to bed at Waldringfield, before hitching a ride back into Ipswich. Those summers semed endless bliss.

I've informed Suffolk Constabulary - let them sort it out.
Oddly enough, I wasn't even the first one to call it in.

 

[sailorman]

Info "from a local"
the fire is believed to have been started by electrical fault in the kitchen.
The pub will be open again in a week

Best to stick to that story

That's as maybe, but will it hold up in court.
Cross examination can be brutal.

Cross examination can be brutal.

and should be, in this case.
