Well not long to the meet now on the last count down and we should see some happy faces again slurping down the beer . The R.E.M.E flag will be flying again so just look for it.
IT HAS to be said that there is nothing like a good pint of English beer. Unfortunately what I have had recently has been nothing like a good pint of beer. Well it said that the pub we are meeting in has a respectable selection of real ales that attract all the aficionados. In Mexico your beer is protected with a slice of lime stuffed in the bottle neck to stop the wasps from nicking it or surprising you with a sting when you take a swig, although some still think it’s a fashionable thing to do in the UK, instead of protecting our beer with freshly made yummy goodies as above, we accompany our drinks with bits of plastic barely filled with, let’s be honest pretty meagre offerings. Oysters used to be served and the old winkle man used to come round and baskets of monkey nuts, still in the shell; I still think that cracking them yourself is very therapeutic after a long day at work could help JF ? to find the time to peel your peanuts for you and then for your convenience put them in a plastic bag for you so that you can eat them? That’s two lots of packaging for one snack.” Who remembers Scampi Fries, Hula Hoops and Bacon ‘Flavoured’ snacks which were amazingly suitable for vegetarians even though the salt and vinegar crisps were not, all again, wrapped in plastic? Were these snacks specifically designed to complement or protect our precious beer, or were they just meant to be a distraction so that we wouldn’t notice the cloudy warm and pricey pint the landlord was currently offering? I'll let you mull over that till Saturday at 1300 or abouts. Have a nice Bank Holiday Monday painting, putting up that shelf you promised or digging your garden. So till we meet all the best ,
