Looks interesting. I used to have a copy of Home Brewed by Dave Backhouse, which is a fine history of pubs and brewing N Wilts dating from 84.

Looked for it the other day  but buggered if I could find it on the shelf.  Always annoying to lose a book and have no idea how.

Discovering there's a place in France named Condom.

Did you not do Geography or French at school, discovering the existence of Condom is school boy rite of passage.
