KIRKY Posted 20 September , 2004 Share Posted 20 September , 2004 In a current thread I asked about food on the Somme A couple of Pals said that there has been a problem at Tommies and it does not look good? It seems he may have had an accident? I think this topic deserves its own thread as I am sure that everyone who goes to the Somme knows of Tommies. Any news? tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van den Heuvel Posted 20 September , 2004 Share Posted 20 September , 2004 I'm sure Paul Reed knows more if something has happened.. Peter H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 20 September , 2004 Share Posted 20 September , 2004 Having been in Arnhem, I don't know anything about this. Will make some enquiries when I am a bit more with it tomorrow. I know he was shut at the weekend as all his staff were at a wedding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 21 September , 2004 Share Posted 21 September , 2004 It seems the ambulance etc that was seen, was called for a neighbour and has nothing to do with anyone at Le Tommy. However, he is closed this week as most of his staff are away. Those who visit regularly will know this sort of closure is not unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Carter Posted 21 September , 2004 Share Posted 21 September , 2004 Glad to hear that there was nothing serious at the Tommy Bar. Just love the Jupiler there. Pauls correct there. A few years ago we spent the night at the 'Three pigeons' in Albert. Thierry, the owner was going to shut the bar for two weeks whilst he went on holiday. For the first hour or so the beer was half price. Then to empty the barrels it was FREE....I always pop in now on the half chance he's off on holiday again!! Terry p.s Will be on the Somme, myself, on weekend 8/9 October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlotte cardoen-descamps Posted 22 September , 2004 Share Posted 22 September , 2004 This is strange... When I mentioned to my guests that the fire brigade and the paramedics were called out for the neighbours of Tommies Bar, they reacted that they saw the paramedics coming out of Tommies Bar . This was on Saturday morning around 9 a.m.. According to them a young lad, who usually helps Dominic arrived there on his motorbike and he was told to go home as the place was going to be closed all day (as was the case on the Sunday). The fire brigade was carrying a ladder outside from the double doors just next to the main entrance. Our guests do not speak French nor understand it really well but they believe that the paramediics told them that someone had fallen seriously ill...
