'Perhaps tourists at Windsor Castle thought the Queen was having a party when a lorry carrying 12 barrels of lager pulled up outside her Berkshire home. But after confusion among staff at the royal residence, it emerged the 2,000 pints were destined for a pub with the same name five miles away. Misko Coric, manager of the Windsor Castle pub in Maidenhead, said the beer, ordered for the England v Croatia football match, finally turned up three hours late. He said: "We have received mail for the royal household here before but I think this is the first time they have received anything meant for us."

12 Sep 08 - 07:07 PM (#2438827) Subject: RE: BS: Right Royal party night From: Geoff the Duck But 13 casks of 18 gallons would be somewhere near the general inaccuracy of newspaper stories. I expect the pub wasn't exactly 5 miles away (as the drunken crow flies) either... I am wondering how beer could arrive three hours too late for a football match? Do they wait until the crowd of drunks arrive at the pub and then phone the lager brewery? I expect it takes some time to feed the proper beer to the donkey and collect the lager that comes out of the other end. Quack! GtD. |
