Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the at to reply. I am working on a mental sleeve that fits around a can of Tennants Super that makes it look like you are drinking Fanta Rob Long ago and far away, a friend of mine had an enormous number of soft-drink cans that contained beer. He worked for a brewery that had bought a new canning machine which had to be tested before the cans arrived, so they used whatever they could get that would work in the machine. Of course it was illegal to sell them, and may even have been illegal to give them away, so they put them on pallets under a tarpaulin at the back of the brewery yard, and 'forgot' about them. They're still there, of course . My friend liked to give them to thirsty friends and acquaintances without warning so he could enjoy the reaction. E |
