This was fun to read, @tengolotodo. "All the way down to Kent in the South East England." Did you drive all the way down there to enjoy this memorable meal?

• ^{I say all the way down there, not knowing how long it would take you to make the drive. Perhaps it is not that far?}

"They were all in the glass of 1698. Talking of glass I love a pint from a glass bottle, it just tastes more authentic and less tinny in my mind!"

I agree wholeheartedly. There is something about drinking out of a glass bottle, which an aluminum can and mostly certainly a plastic bottle cannot match!
