Peter: the reason Allan lost his thread due to Boddington's Bitter was really that he had been out celebrating his wedding anniversary with his wife.

I've not seen Allan wearing a tie before, let alone a blazer! Congrats once again Allan! I would agree, the last thing we want is a beer being withdrawn! I'll be on the guest or the Landlord on Thursday 'cos I'm going on my bike. BTW, what time are you arriving at Alderley Edge on midsummer sunrise? And what date do you regard as midsummer? I was going up on Thursday 21st. John
