- yes; oxfam shops (and some other dealers) do seem to presume
all their stock is - by definition? - in mint condition :-((

- sounds to offer the best, as well as the worst, possibility
of serendipity, from your description :-)

>does ale (local), food, white wine for the ladies
- a majority of female afpers've traditionally preferred pints,
whether of real ale or good, &/or rough, cider - i don't _know_
that this is still be the case, but i suspect so; pub wine tends
to be decidedly over-priced, and under par.
>and has a stupendous juke=box (Caravan, Misunderstood, early Floyd
- sounds like a promising place for a party of afpers to meet up
in (party, possibly better than solo afper, given the "shades" ?).

>No connection with any of these except as a satisfied customer.
- which seems to cover most conciderations. thanks for all

- norwich would appear to be well worth a visit, whether one's
a vinyl addict, a bibliophile, or merely an afper in the area.
- love, ppint.
