I am back in Sydney.  This is not part of my plan.

Today I had lunch at the Lord Nelson, a brewery pub I have been going to for years.

I am reminded of an incident that I observed in the pub a couple of years ago.

A rather large bloke  approached the bar.  In a booming American accent he asked “ do you serve Bud? (assume that to mean  Budweiser Beer).  The barman replied, “no we make our own beer here”.  The American then asked: “do you make anything that tastes like Bud?”.   The barman responded: “ no, but the pub down the road might.  I know their cat died, but I am pretty sure they got another one”.

Other patrons that heard this conversation serious pissed themselves laughing.

The American did not appear to get the joke and left the Lord Nelson without trying their excellent brews.
