Ooh, that will wind up all the lefties and disarmers in CAMRA ;-)
ReplyDeleteI see there's already a letter of complaint in July's What's Brewing - although it is pointed out that the list includes two nurses and a dog.
How about naming the foreign beer bar after Marshal Blücher who saved the day at Waterloo?
Should have caused some real trouble and named the German bar after Bomber Harris. Talking of war heroes - trying to think of one name for the Italian bar but cannot!
ReplyDeleteI think Armando Diaz would be a worthy Italian hero.
ReplyDeleteAnd Garibaldi, of course!
