From Ronald and Edna Haylett, 2012               (CH B1-1-26a)

'They were lovely times down the pub when I was a youngster. A session down at the Fisherman's, and then the Three Mariners . . .They used to have a session down there . . . Now, Boxing Day the pubs closed at half past two legally, but they'd open here until four or five o'clock. Policeman'd come in and have a look; village policeman, he'd come in and have a look: "Boys all right?" Well, they're all fishermen, you know. "Boys all right?" "Yes, all right. Do you want a pint mister?" "No, I'll leave you." He'd just go away and leave them.

They had one policeman come here and they knocked his hat off. He was a youngster, y'know. And his mate come up from Martham and he say, "Come on, leave them alone; they'll go home when they've had enough." Marvellous way!'
