I think it was something to do with the latter, John. There was a section about it in the menu but the beer was that good I forget what it said:-)

Running words together is quite common in Lancashire as well -'Nothing but' becomes nobbut; 'See you' becomes sithee and of course the most common - the abbreviation of 'the' to a 't' and glottal stop, as in 'put t'kettle on, Mother'. The 't' is not realy pronouced at all.

I intended saying before - I love fresh fish as well. Visiting Spain for the first time. some years ago, had me eating grilled Sardines every day for lunch at sea front cafes and getting various other types in bigger places during the evening - Marvelous stuff:-)

And Ruth - If that stuff you make has been soup, what is it now?
