St Austell is in Cornwall

Yes, pronounced locally as 'Snozzle'

And where everything will be done dreckly. Less urgent than manana for sure and at times less urgent than the Arabic "Bad Bukra"

Cardiff. Cripple Dick from St. Austell. Been there. Done that. Can't remember squat. 
 

St Austell is in Cornwall, other side of the Bristol Channel. One could be lynched in those parts for saying it was part of England, but its not Wales either.

Cornwall. OK, there, I said it. My point was where I drank it, not where it's from.
 
I was truly using parking meters for walking sticks, and felt fortunate to find my hotel at the end of the evening. At least I woke up in bed the next morning. After a very long night in Innsbruck once, I had no memory of returning to my hotel, but when I woke up, I was fully dressed, sleeping on the floor. Never made it to the bed.

I love that statement, great story humorously told. I just noticed the ABV% on that label!! 11.7%  No wonder you were wiped out.
 
I was working in the Netherlands back in the 80’s Our work crew moved down to Roosendaal from Friesland. First night out we encountered the Belgian beers in a local bar and launched into them as if they were pilsner. Similar carnage ensued!

That's funny, right there! I like people. I love talking. But I HATE talking to Ralph on the big white phone.
