And of course the famous Harvey's of Lewes is now owned by a greedy capitalist brewery company called Greene King who brew in...- well dang me as we Goths say - Bury St Edmunds.
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHH!
Is there no end to your Gothic ignorance? Have you not been reading The Guardian? The Financial Times? The New York Times? Der Spiegel? Have you not had your ear glued to Radio 4's You and Yours? The Today programme? Are you really so out of touch with World news?
Harvey's Brewery remains as independant as it has for 200 years and more and continues to brew it's excellent beers a few hundred yards from the Lewes Arms. It has never and never will be owned by Greede King. GK took over the Beard's pub chain. (Beard's stopped brewing 40 or 50 years ago.) This, alas, made it the owner of the Arms. They gradually removed the Harvey's from each pub in turn. The Arms was the last to go. For 133 days they had an empty pub until they saw the light.
I'm sorry, but you've blown your chance of getting that floor spot.

(Sorry about the thread drift, folks, but this is IMPORTANT.)

(Nottingham? Sheffield? They're all north of Ringmer.)
