        My favourite one was just a bottle of Spitfire (which is a top
pint as you say though the best ever is still Young's Ramrod) with the
legend "Der der-der der der-der-der-der, der der-der der der-der-der-der",
which I thought was absolutely great. Offensive yes, but how many people
who would have been offended by it would have worked it out? Ah, the fun
of ignoring political correctness, yours,
