    I trust you sampled some of their beer, it's proper beer. I like a nice British bitter, not lager.

    Yes, lots. Sorry, I didn't count how many I tried - I was too busy trying as many as I could. Good thing I wasn't driving.

    I started with the 'cold and gassy' (as our guide called them) choices first then on to the traditional ales. Please forgive me as I found the London Pride my least favorite, which honestly says a lot about the rest of their lineup. Fuller's has lots of great brews to choose from.

    Have you toured the plant? Definitely worthwhile.

    The plant is outdated though and caught between being not small and not large. Fuller's was recently sold to Asahi who so far are keeping Fuller's as is.

    Here's hoping that Asahi's resources allow the Fuller's brewery to stay in operation for years to come.

    Funnily enough no, I haven't, however, I've done two up here in Yorkie land, One was Theakstons Brewery where me & she who must be obeyed had a tour around and sampled some beer. One of their beers is called Old Peculiar and by Christ, after four pints you are Peculiar. The other is Black Sheep Brewery (both in Masham pronounced massam) Black Sheep was started by a son of Theakston who had a falling out hence the Black Sheep. Both breweries have good luncheon arrangements washed down with good beer.

    I watched a youtube.com clip of the smallest car a few weeks ago. I thought it was a hoot to watch! I found 3:35 in the clip to be hilarious, when he lifted the rear bumper and pulled his tiny car into work! No parking issue. Just carry inside!

    Tiny car (Peel P50) in action -

    If you watch, keep in mind he's 6.5 feet tall!!!!
