Sure, it reminds me of the story of two young Dubliners coming to London to seek thier fortunes in the building trade.

As was there wont they went to see Father O'Malley before taking the ferry. Amoungst the advice he gave them was that if you want a good pint in London be sure to drink in a Pub which serves "Fullers" Beers.

Off they went, and arrived at Euston Station with a raging thirst. The first pub thay went two they asked the barman " Do you serve Fullers ?", "NO !".

Many Pubs later, and an even more raging thirst, they found a little backstreet pub, with a sign above the door saying "Fuller, Smith & Turner - Brewers of fine traditional ales" - " Do you serve Fullers here ?", "Of course". says the Landlord, " Thats why we put the sign up", "Thank be to God" says one of the Dubliners, " Two Pints of Guiness please !"
