Completely irrelevant, but on the radio at lunchtime they were saying that this week is the 70th anniversary of the beer can. Apparently a Welsh brewery put beer in cans, but not for drinking from, only for pouring into a glass.

You mean you drink straight from the can? How shocking!

Aye, bloody disgrace. I mean, where was the meths/cider/ruby wine ?

From time to time. Mostly to see if a certain entertainer is still keeping up his end. He is...

Yup, as we used to say a "tourist measure" in many parts of the continent esp Holland.

I wouldn't call anything in 330ml cans ( or 500ml for that matter ) "beer". Its just water, colouring a bit of alcohol. Keeps the chavs happy though.
