The Swan 25th Anniversary, Brome, Suffolk - 14th November 2008

It's 25 years since Alan and Sylvia moved in to the Brome Swan, and to celebrate they have a bit of a knees-up in the pub. Loads of regulars are there to help with the drinking of beer and the eating of nibbles - even Nosher's dad, who hasn't been over for a while, happens to be in town. It's worth re-iterating the 25-years-ness of it all, when you think of how many other pubs change landlords every few months (or years if they're lucky) - it's quite an achievement. Nosher himself has been there for 19 years of it, which is kinda scary (the mind boggles at how many visits to the bogs that must be: 19 years x 52 weeks x 2.5 visits per week x 4 wees per night = around 10,000 trips)
