Glad to join you in a toast to Lancashire John.
It was a 'Maltas Y Cervezas De Murcia' a very good local beer, sold in litre bottles for 1,19 €. I suspect it's subsidised to combat dehydration and because the water is not nearly as sweet as in the homeland ;).
Although born in Manchester, when asked where I come from I tend to reply Lancashire, because that's where Manchester belonged back then. Not too certain about them bloody scousers though :lol: :lol: :lol:
My comments usually get the Yorkies grunting, then I sing about Selby Bridge and they go as pale as their White Rose :o :o :o.
Is that a sort of racism :? :shock: :shock: ?
