Subject: the pub at 5 points

I can't seem to get an e-mail thru to y'all, so thought I'd try this!

I haven’t heard all your Super Mouth contestants, so I can’t honestly say I like Debbie O’Keefe the best, but I really have enjoyed the times I’ve heard her. I wanted to call last week, which is something I never do, when she started talking about her family in Norwich.
I went to school in England 1969-70 as a foreign student at the University of East Anglia (UEA), which is a few miles outside of Norwich. We (the foreign students) were actually called “occasional students,” which wasn’t altogether inaccurate! Norwich had the distinction of having both the most churches and the most pubs per capita of any city in England. I’m not sure what that signified; maybe just a bunch of happy Christians or else devout drunks!

Whatever, it was a landmark year in England, as the law on pub hours changed, allowing pubs to stay open until 10:00 instead of 9:00. That gave us an hour after the library closed to get from UEA to Five Points pub down the road towards Norwich and quaff a couple pints of bitter.

Please ask Debbie if Five Points is still there. It was the scene of many happy gatherings for us red-eyed, brain-weary students. And I wish her the best of luck as SUPER MOUTH!


Sincerely,

Marsha
Bastrop

P.S. If you read this on the air, please do so between 7:00 and 8:00, so I can listen. Thanks!
