In particular I don't like Abbot.In the seventies Norfolk was a real ale desert. The Norwich Brewery only brewed keg beer. And it was p*ss. I know things have changed. I worked for a company based near Bury St Edmuinds and used to stay in Suffolk occasionally but I never got the taste for Greene King.

I lived in Royston, Herts for a few years and found hand pulled Greene King IPA to be a real session beer.

One sold records ( I spent hours in the early sixties down stairs in the booths), the other musical instruments (where I first touched a strat in the early sixties)
