Calling Fosters beer is a contradiction in term and definately breaks the sale of goods act !! sorry bill could never get along with nuky brown ,too sweet ,my lad was at uni in Sunderland and I did enjoy some (read lot's) of other good beer up there .
Dutch we may be related vis-a -viz dancing along balcony's ,in London theres a pub called the "prospect of whitby " back in 1966 when the world was young ,well I was ,only 16 at the time, a friend and i danced along the edge of the balcony ,we were absolutely steaming until I looked down at the Thames, below, about 40 Ft ,sobered up pretty quickly and was back on the floor rapidly. Never liked heights since ladders etc strange but don't mind flying ,hang gliders,fixed wing gliders and small aircraft wonderful but ladders and roofs not a chance!
Down here in Merseyside real ale is now well catered for ,if you look ,plenty of rubbish ,my old local used to have 3 guest bitter beers plus 2 regular bitter , black sheep and tetleys plus the best pint of guinness around. Still mourn the passing of so many local brews Threlfalls, formby ales, walkers, higsons now Cains ,if you ever see Cains formidable try it wonderful falling down water , Wrexham lager to name but a few, can even remember when Boddingtons was a good beer, anyone in north Manchester is Robinson's still around?
