After limping along through the winter, our old Fox is looking very pale and wan, and last night couldn’t even supply a packet of crisps. The string of temporary managers has not helped, and our rear room has been invaded by a telly, which Mr Grumpy seems to want to keep switched on. We learnt last night that the pub is to close on 6th April for a few weeks to be redecorated etc etc. Maybe it will be alright when it re-opens. (I think it is a Listed Building so I hope they wouldn’t be allowed to gut the interior).
Anyway, pub talk last night seemed in favour of a switch to the Volunteer Arms (just off the Iron Bridge)…… at least pro. tem.
I’ll be on holiday from next week till 30th March, so I thought I’d just post this up to spread a discussion as to who agrees to Volunteer.
