        This fixation with Landlord, inexplicable on the grounds of taste
or quality, seems to be an affliction of individuals across all age groups
and incapable of a rational explanation. It's a very distinctive-tasting
beer but I've almost never found it in a pub that didn't have something
I'd rather drink.

        The best beers in England are in fact to be found at
<http:/www.youngs.co.uk> and let no-one tell you otherwise. If they do,
present them with a decent pint of Young's Ram Rod and if they persist in
their fallacy, depart on polite terms and remember forthwith that they are
stark staring deranged. Those in America may be able to obtain Old Nick
instead, which is also good but being 7.5% not exactly a session beer.

        I'm not going to suggest that Ram Rod is the best beer in other
parts of the island for fear of being struck down by a mob of 80/
drinkers, but if it weren't for them I might. I have strong opinions on
this subject :-) Yours,
                        Jon
