Bert, even though I'm not actually reading this thread anymore after the torture and abuse I have suffered at the hands of my fellow Catters, I will say this.

One of them for a while was beer in cans, and the canned stuff was ten times better than the local stuff...Newcastle Brown...i spent a fortune stocking up on it. *sigh*
