They were allowed to give the beer away last nite in a fashion as it is perishable.Just didn't think CHris, Geraldine, Ian, Jeff and Pete's wife etc had managed to clear them out totally of what was left. NOt a problem for me as I always drinkl the coke. I can recommend it too. I understand the circumstances and lets hope everything goes well on Wednesday for Syd n Vals sake. |

I do hope they have sorted it out by May 20! Commiserations and good luck for Wenesday, whatever. Mysterious? Cock-up or conspiracy? I think we should be told!

14 Apr 01 - 06:38 PM (#440694) Subject: Lyr Add: THE PUB WITH NO BEER From: Morticia 1. Well, the publican's anxious for the quota to come, There's a faraway look on the face of the bum, The maid's gone all cranky and the cook's actin' queer - What a terrible place is a pub with no beer! cho: Oh, it's lonesome away from your kindred and all Round a campfire at night, where the wild dingoes call But there's nothin' so lonesome, so morbid or drear As to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer. 2. The stockman rides in with his dry, dusty throat, Goes up to the bar, pulls a wad from his coat, But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer When the barman says suddenly, "The pub's got no beer!" 3. There's a dog on the verandah, for his master he waits, But the boss is inside, drinkin' wine with his mates, He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear, It's no place for a dog, not a pub with no beer! 4. Then in comes the swagman, all covered with flies, He throws down his roll, wipes the sweat from his eyes, But when he is told he says, "What's this I hear? I've trudged fifty flamin' miles to a pub with no beer!" 5. Oh, pity the blacksmith - first time in his life He's gone home cold sober to his darlin' wife He walks in the kitchen; she says, "You're early, my dear," Then he breaks down and he tells her that the pub's got no beer.

14 Apr 01 - 07:32 PM (#440721) Subject: RE: BS: NEWSFLASH:THE JUG INN HAS NO BEER LEFT!! From: bill\sables The whole trouble was that Micca and Noreen drank the pub dry last Wednesday night, and it seems that as they were in Yorkshire for a couple of days there is a problem finding any fresh supplies in the whole county. I would assume they had a big thirst. It probably comes from drinking Boddingtons and the flavoured water they brew down South Bill |

From: Liz the Squeak Ah, I almost gave up any hope of coming up, but as Micca says, as long as they have coke on tap and a bottle of Rum available from the nearest offy, then Black Russians it is.... Micca, pack that case of limes just in case! And yes, I don't recall much of that weekend either Morty!! LTS - partial to a nice BR, especially on a sunny afternoon...... a windy evening, a rainy night, in fact, almost any time after midday..... |

From: Lanfranc Elizabeth (the missus) and I will be there, assuming we can get the clutch on the Scooby fixed and can book B&B - we belong to the sybaritic tendency. (I caught sybaris from my wife! - Keep taking the tablets!) Still hope the alcohol situation resolves itself soon. We should have warned you about Micca's consumption problem.

15 Apr 01 - 02:42 PM (#441197) Subject: RE: BS: NEWSFLASH:THE JUG INN HAS NO BEER LEFT!! From: Liam's Brother I was giving serious thought to stopping at 'The Jug' next time I'm in Britain. I would very much like to see Bill Sables in his native habitat... however, I did not realise that the world famous 'The Jug' was a teetotaling pub. In addition to cokes, do they have milk shakes, ice cream and the like? How's the Tizer?
All the best, |

From: Geoff the Duck Liam's Brother - Althought he beer is excellent, Mrs.Duck and myself live about 10 miles away and therefore take turns driving, whilst the non-driver can sample the beers. As a result we can heartily recommend the Lucozade!!! Quack! |

15 Apr 01 - 05:11 PM (#441273) Subject: RE: BS: NEWSFLASH:THE JUG INN HAS NO BEER LEFT!! From: Sorcha I still don't really understand why.....are there "allotment" laws in Britian that only allow sales of "X" amount of alcohol in a given period of time? (not over here, lemme tell ya!) Or is Syd um, well, like, behind in his payments to the Distributor....
Now, some types of liscenses in the US demand that the venue sell X dollars of food for every X amount of alcohol.....but those places are generally restaurants, not Pubs. Pubs make their money selling alcohol......the more, the better. Could one of you please explain?? |

15 Apr 01 - 05:28 PM (#441286) Subject: RE: BS: NEWSFLASH:THE JUG INN HAS NO BEER LEFT!! From: Mrs.Duck I don't know the reason but suspect it may have something to do with the pipes from the cellar so it should not be a long lived problem and noone should be put off going to the Jug. There are plenty of other things to drink which are neither beer nor Lucozade.. Now Liz if you're in to rum we will definitely have to get you on the rum and Shrub if you haven't tried it already! |

Well we do like flavour in our beer and water is used in the production, but we prefer not to have to suck our ale through a layer of white slime. |

15 Apr 01 - 05:43 PM (#441291) Subject: RE: BS: NEWSFLASH:THE JUG INN HAS NO BEER LEFT!! From: Mrs.Duck Nor would you be expected to at any pub serving decent beer like the Jug where a pint is just that and the white stuff goes where its supposed to ie down the plug! Perhaps that's why they've run out because they always give good measure rather than thre 3/4 pint some pubs try to fob you off with. And they rarely charge more than £1.40 a pint!!!!!!!!!! |

From: Mr Red come to think of it Cider Mill in Brandee Wharf in Lincolnshire cider and spirits Monkee House at Defford near Pershore - only cider and not for the faint hearted. Plough (RIP) in Elmley Castle Worcs in 1976 - the resident Ciderheads had distinctly glazed eyes and happy smile. |

It'll be back on by wednesday hopefully, n if it aint I can recommend the coke!! It's the best draught stuff around!! Syd was ill a while ago and problems stemmed from there with licensing, but he's reapplying and gettin it all sorted, my thoughts go to syd though. He's absoloutley stressed from head to toe and said to me last nite that he's been on the verge of havin anuva heart attack cos of it. Well I don't mind goin and drinkin coke cos it's such a nice pub I could sit n drink water in there n still be happy. Don't be put off, that's all I can say. Emma xxx |

THE PUB WITH NO BEER
(Parsons)
It's lonesome away from your kindred and all
Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come
Then the stock-man rides up with his dry dusty throat
Ther's a dog on the 'randa-h for his master he waits
Old Billy the blacksmith first time in his life |
