Burton Brewery
'Jolley good show' regle, that index finger must be showing signs of white finger syndrome,by now.
My version of the origination of the saying 'Gone for a Burton' Prewar when companies advertised in most towns by the use of large hoardings, Burton Brewery's contribution was a picture of a wall with an an empty ladder, and written on the wall "Gone for a Burton" . Or was it? Any other ideas ?. Seem to remember Watneys had a wall also, known as Watneys Wall.
Burton Ales were the best and strongest ales in the U.K . at that time. Well us Sassenachs thought so. I might enlarge on that, and it's effects when I reach R.A.F Battlestead Hill. Burton on Trent.
Sorry if it offends any of our Scottish friends or anyone who has signed the pledge.
