The Barden of England:
On the other hand I might partake of the odd Bombardier
That wouldn't be one of the thespians from the Deolali Concert Party would it?

Or perhaps you're referring to a pint of Wells Bombardier?

That's an interesting name for a beer from the Wells brewery, as a little nugget of info is that "Bombardier Billy Wells" (Lonsdale belt winning boxer) was the man seen striking the gong at the start of the 'Rank' films
