Really bad news if true. First the shop, then some pubs and finally the brewery. Lewes will be a different place if this happens. How reliable is your source Lopster?

This would indeed by bad news. Will Bill be extending across the road? Which would be even worse news.

source usually 100% (and involved in the trade) - but he was asking rather than telling as he has heard a rumour
harveys worker I sincerely hope you are right - the shop is wonderful and is certainly the Koh-I-Noor in Lewes' crown - loss would be tragic and the equivalent (at least) of losing Woolworths in my opinion

I guess it is the duty of every Lewesian to sup as many beverages as posible from said brewery shop just in case there might be, as rumoured, some difficulties which might result in said shop closing and in this day and age, credit crunch etc etc we need to be doubly cautious that Harveys is support in these difficult times.....go to it loppy, people of Lewes unite.

Im told the brewery and the shop both had a record year, apparently the other harveys shop, not the lewes one, is to close at some point, but not cos of any financial difficulties.

I hear that the staff are to record a cover version of the Isley Brothers hit and the lyrics are,

Gather everyman, gather every woman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
When will there be a Harvey's for all the people
When will there be a Harvey's for all the world
Harvey's For The World

Spinster seems to have lost it - agree with the sentiment though - I am also with FA on this one (for a change - he is usually such an arrogant git) - hopefully only a nasty rumour though
