Subject: RE: Song Challenge: Milkman delivers pot
Don't know about this sort of pot but.....
Years ago we were visiting Ireland and had been taken to a wonderful music session in County Limerick.
Later we assembled in the box player's house for a home session and were offered a drink of poitín.
Due to leave for home the following day, we asked about obtaining a bottle, whereupon our host presented us with a Lucozade bottle of the rather beautiful brew.
We demurred, saying we didn't want to deprive him.
"It's o.k.", he said, "It's Monday tomorrow", the milkman always drops off two bottles on the back step".
Civilisation - or what?
