 Moorhouse Inn

Lincoln's Birthday

Who cares that it's Lincoln's birthday? Men from the brewery cellar services came and installed Diet Pils at 89p a pint on draught. Donna Lea breezed in at five, what an Ophelia she is, here to increase our beer prices. Bitter is now up 3p to 63p a pint, lager up 3p to 75p a pint. Crafty of the brewery because Nigel Lawson will slap a further 2p on ales in the budget next month. Ally dealt with Donna and stayed to open at 5:30 gleefully to observe the reaction of the customers. She's cruel that way. Grumbling old men exclaiming that the increases are disgusting and equally share the blame between me and Margaret Thatcher. Irish Brian mournfully announced that he will take up home brewing. So boring of them all. We sat with Jack Collett promoting the newly installed Diet Pils. Ye olde Merrie England and Ye Olde Moorhouse Inn.
