1969  As a political protest Czech student Jan Palach set fire to himself

des' dinners at the Carlton Poachers Pocket

If, as we did yesterday in that filthy weather, you approach the Carlton Poacher's Pocket from Rendham (the White Horse was closed as we passed) Carlton might seem in the middle of nowhere but in fact it's just outside Sax.  The pub was encouragingly busy, good condition Adnams and Ruddles on offer, jolly landlord and what seemed a trifle expensive menu but then what do we know?  Conversation between NaTCH, Nick and John B included John's new floor that he can't use yet, how popular the Blaxhall Ship is now that bloody minded Dutchman has gone and the first money to come out of Our Town in Sound is fifty quid for the First Responders.  AfAR s from Spadge and The Brewer (First visit ~ Subsequent lunch ~ Previous lunch)
