Re: Timothy Taylor’s

The Knowle Spring ran across the bottom of our garden, across a couple more and into the brewery . Its believed its original source was the lake which was in Lund Park - it emerged from underneath the houses towards the bottom of Upper Chelsea St, and ran along the bottoms of 57,55,53,51,49 Malsis Rd, and into the brewery. Certainly not enough flow
to make beer, I think that came from some borehole under the brewery.

Just got back from The Lord Rodney where I was dining with Roy Butterfield.
He was drinking Taylor's Landlord - at £3.45 a pint.
I leave it up to Roy if he wants to publish his drinks bill.

I promised to give up drinking if it went up to 2/6d a pint.

The spinning pit reduced my intake.

I imagine that you kept your promise Alec.

To quote the immortal WC Fields, "Once, during prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water."
