Words fail me. Pie, Chips and Gravy. How hard can it be?  >:(

Oh, maybe they object to having their beer pulled through a garden sprinkler? Hmm. I can see the point. :-/

All the aunt has to decide now is which one she is going to keep and which one she is going to eat. We're simple folk up here.

Reminds me of a Festival we played at in Yorkshire a few years ago when we asked the staff in the beer tent to take the sparkler off the beer pump.
People in the queue behind then demanded that it sayed off - apparently they had never seen a full pint before!

We've the Boddingtons advertising campaign of over 20 years ago to blame for the pointless froth on the top of every pint.
 Southern beer simply shouldn't have a large head, which is proved by the 'need' for the sparkler to force one.
 A properly kept northern beer should pour with a good head without any need for the sparkler.
 Any other way is just wrong and shouldn't be allowed! Complain if the barman tries it.

Agreed. :y

I worked in Dorset in 1985 for a few months, seem to remember the beer being warm and flat...  ::) ::)

To get back on track, it does seem incredible that such a decision was made, family if the first place a Local Authority should be looking when accommodating children, but they would need checking out.......this being the Sun though, perhaps they are not aware of the full facts....... ::) ::)
