no worries Reg, listen I tell ya the summer is going pear shaped over here anyway so much fucking rain its unbelievable - 3rd year in a row...were you to arrive in the shire our drinking in beer gardens would possibly be a bit underwhelming...no...having said that the Old Spot (remember that one Dan) is having a beer festival for ladies on the 14/15/16 of August...it would be very good. I never got as far down as Munich...I have german relatives...continentals in general are all so superficially nice...it drives 'moi' mad...
