Ayup mi Duck.....if your brew is only 50 times better than my last (and final) attempt at Rhubarb wine, then I would rather be locked in a compartment alone with THAT woman on the Glasgow to Capetown slooow train, thanks very much ! Mine was so bad it was classed as a WMD by Princess Bliar. Ideal for cleaning the patio or for a DIY vasectomy though. No.....real ale or scotch, or nowt ! Visited Taddy Ales Brewery a few years back and got a super recipe for GROWING and using rhubarb from the head brewmaster who used to make his own 'strong stuff'...now this is truly a gardening subject...up to now that is......got me an 80 gallon used wine barrel and brewed me a batch of wine...put to use a 5 gallon pressure cooker....attached a 75 ft. length of copper tubing and on to the gas burner it went....pretty soon the fan cooled coiled tubing was dripping out what was to become some very drinkable spirits....all told, after double distilling and adding a bottle of port wine landed up filling a 10 gallon charred oak barrel with 150 proof stuff...(no, I did not drink neat....added enough ice to bring down to the 100 or so mark)...believe me it was good ...so good in fact I decided to give the pressure cooker away...it was decidely in my best interests. |

"Nick Maclaren" wrote In my view, Cloaca Cola (with apologies to Raymond) is drinkable provided that it is at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit colder than the ambient temperature. And still liquid. When you finally discover that 2 thirds full bottle of gone-flat Cola that you bought last Christmas for young visitors, you can pour it down the pan and leave a few hours. It's quite an efficient toilet cleaner. Possibly not very environmentally friendly though. |

Actually, I believe that it is fairly harmless, ecologically, being mainly water, sugar, phosphoric acid, caramel and caffeine. God alone knows what the 'light' stuff contains - that could be arbitrarily toxic. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

) A number of postings suggested I was not qualified re England of today......seems as though others appear to be qualified re USA of today....wonder why the difference.... That's easy. We read and travel more widely - and take it in. -- Sacha (remove the weeds for email) From what I have read that might apply to some but is so general a statement that it really makes me wonder about Sacha......must admit I have not travelled as much as you seem to have but I suspect you are an exception to the average English person......my travels have been limited to the Africas, the middle east and a wee bit further east than that not to mention the med etc. etc....I do not count Alaska as that is USA territory nor Canada as that is the equivalant of a Yorkshireman going down south to Cornwall as Canada is so close to Cape Cod....spitting distance that is...only about 500 miles away and a pleasant day's driving with ample time for a couple of snorts before bed-time.....nor do I count the 50 odd states in the USA as that is home territory even tho it be 3000 across and over a couple of thousand down....I envy you and all of your travels...you must truly be the great exception. |

I think you will find that the great British person is now travelling a lot more, and doing it in such a way that they only need to unpack once: I mean cruising. The world is now a very small place and with either home to home cruising such as P&O use Southampton, or fly/cruise whereby you can be flown out/back and cruise to various places, it makes the world even smaller. When we booked our World Cruise for next year in February of this year, we had a very small selection of upper grade cabins because they had already gone ...... 12 months before the cruise date, and the Christmas/New Year Cruise for 2006/7, yes 18 months away is already well and truly booked with people queuing for cancellations. Each of these cruises takes you to different places and tours and excursions out. We have now only done 3 cruises but the parts of the World and its history has been an education, even in our latter years. Yes people are travelling a lot more, I know of 5 families alone who have cruised on P & O's Aurora, parts of my family have visited China, India, Florida, right across America with the Arab Horse Society, (my daughter used to breed Arabs) South Africa, Australia, Germany, Italy, Austria. No we are not the exception, the great British public are 'getting about'. Mike P & O R601 if anyone wants for track our course. |

That's easy. We read and travel more widely - and take it in. Sacha (remove the weeds for email) I don't think I'm especially well travelled, compared to a lot of Britons. Many go abroad for holidays at least once a year; some go more than once. Some of the young, in particular, now spend a gap year abroad after A levels and go from one country to another. The only thing I've done that is a little more unusual is to spend the best part of a year sailing from northern Spain to Cyprus, many years ago. Sacha (remove the weeds for email) Then it might suggest that the above statement re 'taking it in' etc. does not apply to you and is a generality for which, I presume, you have little data to support it....unless of course you have done extensive research into the American travel habits versus the English travel habits and their absorbtion capabilities....bully for you if you have and if you have I offer my sincere apologies.......H |
