electrical system testing or somesuch: warm beer

I thought I sent this earlier on but it did not show up, so here is a precis. RE: Brits and warm beer. It is an old wives tale about the consumption of warm beer by people of a British persuasion. The pubs serve their draft from the cellar under the bar which usually hovers A FEW degrees above the temperature of a fridge. In the older (as in hundreds of years old) pubs the cellar can get pretty chilly. So, yes, technically British beer is warmer than the frozen brown-liquid-masquerading-as-a-beery- beverage sold in North American pubs, but it is not WARM. Anyway, there are a significant number of Brits who have taken to drinking frozen brown-liquid-masquerading-as-beer, so in some pubs the REALLY cold stuff is being consumed in greater quantity than the traditional stuff. So no more of this warm beer stuff, eh? Nick Gromit A13
