Heather Driscoll-Woodford's reply to "Pub seriously threatened financially by incorrect reporting from BBC" was just promoted to the most useful! Anthony Heath and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.
Hi there Gordon,
Your question was passed to me at BBC Southern Counties Online to see if I could shed any light on this. I have found the report in question: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/79... but can see no mention of the Boars Head Inn, or Crowborough.
The report refers to the Bull's Head in Boreham Street, (which is in Hailsham, E.Sussex). The report makes the location very clear during interview with the local residents and the landlady of the pub.
The first line of the report gives the pub's name: "It's approaching closing time at the Bull's Head" and 14 seconds in, there is an interview with the Landlady, complete with the caption "Jackie Port, Landlady, Bull's Head".
The report goes on to show several exterior shots of the "Bull's Head".
i can only summise that your source misheard our news story, and therefore passed on incorrect information to you. I have attached the link for you to satisfy yourself, that there is absolutely no mention of either your pub, or Crowborough, in the BBC News report.
I hope this answers your question.
As you can see, we did in fact, report on the story accurately.
If you wish to discuss this further, feel free to email me at southerncounties@bbc.co.uk
Best wishes
