Allo Allo

Went to what turned out to be a beer hall last night.
Tone a bit fragile after drinking one beer at lunchtime. Ted was right about the beer at Barry being the last good stuff for a while. Or at least the last stuff that is to Tones taste!
The place held at least 1000, yes 1000 people and was buzzing. After a bit of a search we found a couple of seats and within 20 seconds of sitting down a waiter came along. "Two beers?" he said
Being worried that we might be taking someone else's order I said we had not ordered them. His reply in a real Allo Allo style was "This is a beer hall, I serve beer" and he plonked two beers on the table!
So beer it was! Actually I quite like it but Tone is more of a connoisseur The minute we finished the first glass another was put before us. He would have served another but we managed to stop him as enough is enough and Tone is suffering a little for it this morning.
The beer is served in small glasses which are served from a slotted tray holding 10 to 20 glasses each. We watched the barman fill about 60 to 70 glasses a minute and by my reckoning he filled well over 1000 just whilst we were there. Amazing! Nice supper too!

Just for the record I am not suffering from hangovers it is an infection which Lizzy says is made worse by the beer, I have the screaming trots!
