And I thought it was merely Eggborough power station's boilers venting! Living where I do, across the road from one pub, just over the river from the Jug, and down the road from the power station, one accepts deep rumblings and roarings as part of life's rich pattern.

The tankard will do nicely for a birthday present for Ian - if I can ever get the cider smell out of it. Would Domestos help? I could always use Jeyes fluid. (It works a treat on the yard where the dogs "go"!)
