[TR] Following on from yesterday...

[DAVID MASSEY]

Yet another engaging treatise on the history of our cars.  As a diversion I googled "Old Pig's Ear" and And did not find any reference to a British brewery serving "Old Pig's Ear" but there is a brewery in New Hampshire offering up "Pig's Ear Brown" which is an English style beer.  Sounds yummy.  I must check it out.  
BTW Woodstock Brewery started brewing in 1995.  I wonder if this is the same beer that found its way across the pond.
On another note, Green's Dictionary of Slang defines Pig's Ear as slang for beer (possibly Cockney rhyming slang).  As in "I bunged down a tosheroon for two pigs’ ears."

 I've been clearing up my SSD today of junk and came across this attached article I wrote about 12 years ago for a UK club. Coincidence really, because it deals with the aftermath of an expired letter of credit which was hopefully explained to you yesterday.This one has pictures in it but you'll find them at the end with their captions Jonmac** triumphs at autox.team.net **
