Hope you didn't stay in stoke on Trent too long billy goat, what a miserable place, (apart from the oatcakes) I was born there and left when I was ten so I should know
Marstons make some nice ales though, marstons pedigree is my favourite, 4.5% abv but feels like you have been drinking 8% after a couple[/quote

A couple of years ago I visited and toured the Marstons brewery in Stoke on Trent. At the time they were a sponsor of the English cricket team and England had beaten Australia in the Ashes a couple of months earlier.
The marketing manager at Marstons was giving me plenty about the cricket and loved showing me his favourite poster.

Meant to write Burton on Trent not Stoke.

Meant to say Burton instead of Stoke.
My mum was from Stoke (Oak Hill) must have had that on my mind instead of Burton.
Went to Stoke in 1989 but didn't have any Oat Cakes.

Please tell me you had a pint of pedigree,

A bit off topic bit oatcakes are basically a rubbery looking flat pancake thing that you eat with melted cheese or bacon eggs sausage mushrooms ect, most people in the uk don't know about them unless you live in the local area to stoke (30 mins)

Hard sell but they are bloody unbelievable...
