PS: I suggest to change this threads title to be "Mark Steele is in Nether Edge" which would aid forum searches in future years for references to this illustrious suburb 🙂

It is now available on BBC Sounds. I just listened to it - Mark S. is very funny ! The town that wants to become a village, the tree wars, the village where every barista knows your name, the vegan egg knitters of Cafe#9, the manuka honey on a Glen Rd wall and the celebrity rock and roll shenanigans at the Bowling Club ... priceless 😜

Woodys Pub in town near Orchard square I believe, Saturdays.

So I've just tested myself and I can confirm it's Covid ! But of the 3 times I've had it this is definitely the worst ...so when people say it's mutating to become weaker like the common cold I find it hard to believe ! This whole summer Covid wave and its seriousness seems to be being suppressed because of the elections 😞

I've not tested myself for Covid yet, I suppose we have to buy the tests now , It feels rather like a bad flu but of course Covid is mutating all the time ... This morning my chest feels sore in addition to other symptoms tho that may be from soem coughing and have some breathing issues 😞 My appetite comes and goes ,thoigh i feel i should try and eat normally to keep my strength up to fighting off. I'm taking lemsips and also cold capsules 😞

Has anyone had it ? I've just got it now and it must be one if the most Gawd dam awful ones I've had in years ... Aches, fever, runny nose, dizziness, weakness ,loss of appetite , can't sleep ... Sound like it's more than just a cold, but the runny nose would seem to rule out Covid .. does flu circulate in the summer? .. not sure I had my flu jab last autumn 😕

Is this bar still open ? It seems to be open for the Euros now and flags outside ... is it busy and a good place to go to see the football?

Is this still happening, does anybody know ?

Bored young guys on a bank holiday weekend ! I would agree with the Conservatives proposal to bring back national service and or community work for all of them for a year or more !!

Oh yes I forgot the Penny - long live the Penny Black and Norfolk Arms , both quite close to a pub crawl from the Howard 🙂

I will have to use it the next time I am in town , even just to go round and round as I am afraid that we will lose it again !

I have seen a mysterious girl acting with him , who can it be ...

Used to like the Queens Head when I used to go out drinking and a nice pint of pale ale . It must be a while ago now as I recall they did food then. When a venue starts changing its opening hours erratically or reducing them its usually the kiss of death for a place , since no one wants to brave it into town these days not knowing if a venue will be open or not ... bye bye QH , that leaves only the Norfolk Arms 😞

Teller Bar, Abbeydale Rd... Noticed it was shut earlier today but big signs up about new owners ... does anyone know its current status ... why did it change hands? Will it be open for the bank holiday ? 😮
