Hi Sarge, Pretty well any of the pubs Morse uses are okay but here's some centrally placed: - Chequers 131 High Street - Far from the Madding Crowd 10-12 Friars Entry (alley off Magdalen St) - Bear Inn 6 Alfred Street - Lamb & Flag 12 St Giles - White Horse 52 Broad Street (between Blackwells, Oxford's smallest pub)
Enjoy. I'm off to Berlin tomorrow! guy On 5 Jun 2013 at 13:30, Leeds List wrote: > Hi Guy, > Off to Oxford tomorrow night - any pub recommendations please ? > Thanks, > Sarge > > Sent from my iPhone > > On 4 Jun 2013, at 16:05, "Guy Thornton" <guy.thorn...@inter.nl.net> wrote: > > > Don't forget I too am disabled. > > Maybe not a mobility scooter but being on crutches I think counts. > > Yes, there are options for disabled - you could probably have got a > > mobility scooter on loan. > > (That said the dutch social services are having similar problems to the UK > > with cut backs, part > > of the whole austerity budget syndrome from the economic malaise hitting > > everywhere) > > > > Surinamese food is quite different from Indonesian.
