Shocking exhaust prices. CBL

[Geraint Lloyd]

Robin,

no worries for the ECP reminder.
I have contacts in Wrexham (or Wrecsam if yo are a
traditionalist) which
is why i asked where you were....

Was it you asking about Carling Black Label in north
america?
I went to the offy (corner shop) last night to
replenish the ale stock
and guess what........
Brewed over here by Molsen under licence......
I can't send you proof in the way of photos, because i
didn't buy any
I can't explain why, but i really didn't fancy it

I was helping a mate fix his hazard warning lights the
other day. He had
some curious problem with the electrics
on his MGB. How unusual.

No matter how far you run, some things always catch up
with you!
