Not a review, just a memory
Having been a resident at the National service hostel at Flackwell heath in 1947/8; now gone I should imagine, we often visited your public house walking across the golf course to indulge in your vintage cider, called Scrumby or something like. In fact I am ashamed to say we used to take the new girls to the hostel for a drink, asking do you want? Gin whisky rum? The answer was always; No nothing to strong, our reply was, you don’t want that ‘weak cider stuff’; of course the answer was always;
Yes, it must be like lemonade. I might add we were only young men just out of the war, None of the girls suffer any harm. Well, not too many.
Happy days
