Nowt to do with the game of foot-the-ball, but more a comment on sticky post-prandial libations @ EGAA in the early '80s, when (it seems) Arkroyal and a youthful t_h probably served together.

Southampton Rules meant "the largest port in UK" (geddit), although some contended that the advent of container shipping made Felixtowe Rules more correct.

Rotterdam implied "the largest port in Europe", and we never did agree on the largest in the world.....

But Joe and Walter the barmen always understood!
