Trip to Nottingham Friday 15th November 2024

 

Royal Standard with Greene King IPA £5:20, in Ely.

Nice pub, with more restaurant feel, to it.

Saturday I was in The Glasshouse, Norwich, same beer, £1:79 a pint.

The next service, from Liverpool to Norwich Thorpe was just a few trains back from us.

So I thought the Cambridge to Norwich Greater Anglia service would be a little full, so wait in Ely, and try to find a pub. 

Ely

The train service, East Midlands Railway service from Liverpool was cancelled in Ely to Norwich, due to signal faults, north of Peterborough. 

About and over 70 mins late, 

Another Bridge bash by road  vehicle.

Its  a strange day,

In addition to this, Typhoo was hit by a major setback when its Merseyside factory was broken into, causing extensive damage to machinery and stock.

The company had to absorb £24million in exceptional costs as a result. McNulty said the break-in had “materially” impacted the company’s operations, forcing a delay in the sale of the factory, which was finally completed in June 2024.

On top of all this, Typhoo has been grappling with rising costs, tea paper shortages, and the challenges of Brexit.

The company also faces increasing competition from new "wellness" tea brands, which are attracting health-conscious customers
