Lewes pub tips gratefully received (for Monday)

I quite like the Brewers Arms - the Harveys is excellent as is the food and there's always an interesting assortment of punters in there, usually including a sprinkling of "in the know" away fans. Would recommend a couple of pints there first, drop down to the Royal Oak for another and finish off at the Lansdown by the station prior to embarkation to Falmer where you finish off with a final pint on the concourse - Perfect!!

yep fully agree. Best though is have a few pints in the Brewers then jump on the bus that picks you up just along from the pub.

This may be the case for a snow avalanche, but there have been more fatalities in other forms of landslip. Aberfan is obviously the best known - but I have a particular interest in another one, the Bogs Cottages disaster of 1910, at West Wylam, Northumberland, which, without warning, took out an entire community of miners' cottages, including my grandmother's uncle's house. His wife was crushed to death in the kitchen. It's a very shocking way to go.

I stand corrected said the man in the orthopaedic shoes.
I was however meaning a snow avalanche. I have looked up the Bogs Cottages disaster as I had not heard of it before and it was very nasty. I also remember the Aberfan landslip and the horrible loss of life to those poor children.
There is a pub in the West Midlands we used to visit when Albion were up there, it is called the Glynne Arms or more popularly The Crooked House and was built on old mine workings. It is so weird inside it upsets some people’s sense of balance, even without a drink. One of our number had to leave the building owing to motion sickness, although nothing actually moves inside, that is except the ball on the windowsill that appears to run uphill.

The Brewers did a mean bacon and cheese toasted sandwich when it was my regular lunchtime haunt while working in Lewes a few years back

How can you have an ex-uncle? The Lamb was a nailed on punch up back in the day, as was the Tally Ho, hence Mr Reich's smilies.

Slightly different matchday for me on Monday, supposed to be meeting some West Ham mates in Lewes about 6pm and they want to know about welcoming pubs where we can have a drink, no hassle, no over-zealous doormen etc, and near the station (I haven't got a scooby about Lewes pubs).

Is there such a thing? Don't think they'll have colours on. When I looked it up online I saw that the Lansdown pub is close to the station, but have no idea what it's like. We'd go a bit further afield if that's fan-unfriendly. Many thanks.

If you want to make KO you should be leaving at 6 not meeting, just saying.
