WHATEVER HAPPENED TO “JAMMY”? BAE reader Colin Shepherd, of Weldon, asks if anyone remembers “Jammy” Wells, landlord of the Wheatsheaf in Titchmarsh during the 1970s and 80s. It seems that the pub (a recent CAMRA Gold Award winner) was the “go-to” place for a steak dinner even back then, and the jovial Jammy’s domain was the kitchen while his wife looked after the ale.
Jammy (which may not have been his given name) loved his rugby and turned out alongside Colin for Corby RFC, and on their nights off he and his missus would head into Corby for.....a drink at the Rugby Club! If it’s any help, Jammy had a brother called Nigel, who went to work in the Middle East in the late 70s. Colin is interested to find out if Jammy is still about. Anyone?
