Tragic loss for all of us. Sad news indeed. John kept the best Harveys on tap in Lewes and on my trips home (as I live and work in Asia), the Swan was my first watering hole, on my return ! Readers may be interested to learn that when I first went to work in Thailand in 1985, I was posted up in the highlands near Chiang Mai, miles away from anywhere. I tuned into the BBC World Service one evening and heard a familiar voice explain to the listeners the finer points of keeping a beer in tip top condition in your cellar. Lo and behold, it was John from the Swan ! It was radio like that that kept us connected when there was no sky TV. We always had a laugh and reminisced over that one ! Heartfelt sympathies to Glenys and family

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
I like the walk along the ouse to Hamsey church, the view from the top of the Castle, Pells pool, the antique shops and boot fair, the lion in the window of the 15c bookshop, keere street
