He started on steam wagons, Allchins and finished on diesels but told me that he preferred steam. He told me a few tales of his experiences with the steamers but I can only remember two. He lived in a house in Latimer Street, owned by the brewery and was offered the opportunity to buy it but didn't proceed due to a survey that he had. I think that his rent was 7/6d a week.Bill Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07288618518305028599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-65815628458428353312014-04-16T02:33:00.355-07:002014-04-16T02:33:00.355-07:00Bailey, that's Lovibond, 1 inch cell.

Not only relatively pale (any idea what scale 'colour' is being measured on?) but actually referred to by the name Golden Ale.<br /><br />Would really like to see a recipe for that one.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.com
