Swans can mess with your head

The Kings Head at Yoxford - Nice pint and good food

 Joe Roberts travelled between Maidstone and Lowestoft bi-annually for approximately 25 years. On every journey he would take a break at the 'Kings Head' at Yoxford. When asked he would always say " We stopped at a pub, cant remember its 'bleedin' name. I had a light ale and your 'muvver' had a nice cup of tea". Why couldn't he remember its name, the sign is big enough?

Do swans mess with your senses and memory or had he a very low tolerance to light ale?  We shall never know for sure!
