Great chance - head anywhere and we can pick some up. If we go to a pub nearby, we just order a 'schooner' and they give you a whacking great big glass of the stuff. It's a local foible.
*opens

You are the most considerate pirate I've ever known, Pierce. Treating the pheasants to glasses of Bristol cream is very kind.

No - they are safer in here... and I'll wear the rest ( for safekeeping purposes only )til we get aboard The Blood.
