Them that buys ale, buys nowt else,


and the bloody achin' head they gets for free!


 


Sorry Des, leave it to one of us blokes from across the pond to make a butchered attempt to speak the Queen's English, when all we have to go by is reruns of "Mary Poppins" amd "My Fair Lady".

Welcome Des, You are the third Brit here now! I'm from Stockport and Badger is from the Isle of Wight! Yippee it's a British invasion!


Stay away from Cains Brewery mate. (and Warrington)


Best wishes.


 


Chris.
