Storm Damage means no phones!

by Judi on October 27, 2011

Hi we suffered with a rather severe storm on Tuesday night and the result is that we have no telephones at the Jolly Sailor currently, in fact most if not all of Orford has been affected. We are told by BT that it could be as long as a week before we are reconnected so in the meantime if you need to contact us call Gordon on his mobile 07966 171475 or you can email emma@thejolly-group.com
