        Does it take a long time to finish then?.......

        (ok, coat on..... ).

        Edit, sounds great, will try to find some.
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

        I am not a number, I am a free man.

          I was thinking more of the Pastoral connection.

          And, by the time you reach the Third, you feel quite heroic.


          And, if you reach Nine, you get quite choral.

                      Easiest place to find it seems to be in SW1 chez Phil and Liz Windsor apparently:

                      Carlsberg UK discontinued off trade sales of the brand in April 2003, although it continues as a keg beer. It has been alleged that small scale production of the bottled variant continues as it is Prince Philip's favourite beer, with Paul Burrell attesting that Philip drank a small bottle nightly. As of 2012 the keg variant is currently known as Double Diamond Pale and is 2.8% ABV. Ind Coope Burton Ale (4.5% ABV) is currently brewed by Carlsberg UK, and is a cask conditioned version of bottled Double Diamond first launched in 1976.

                          You were about to clamber into your time-machine were you?

                          A 24 or a 36 bus to Victoria should do it

                            2.8%? I wondered how come I could drink eight pints of it when I was 12 and still go to school the next day

                              If Prince Philip's favourite brew is Double Diamond it's high time he was introduced to Betty Stoggs!

                              Double Diamond was bland but whatever happened to even blander Red Barrel?
