  • The Great Beer Flood

    Times ain't what they used to be. When did we last have a great beer flood?

    Well in 1814 apparently - wish I had been there. What made me laugh was out of eight deaths one was from itoxication! One? one?


    Thanks to the Beeb at BBC - h2g2 - The London Beer Flood of 1814

    just wondered if anyone's ancesters had been lucky enough to have been around with a bucket or two??

    Its not funny though is it!

    Or is it! At least they went out without knowing what hit them - probably was a blessing in disguise in those days.

      Thankyou for that story Nigel - brilliant
      Although a tragedy at the time, it does lend itself to becoming an entertaining story as time goes by
