still searching 4 the "victoria bitter "
no success as yet ...

throw a big one on the barbie 4 me m8 ...

cya l8r ...jim

You cannot be serious (as MacEnroe was want to say). You haven't found VB yet? Are you asking the staff or just having a glance around? Hey, they get paid to be there and answer your questions, just ask 'em Jim. Keep going bro, it's out there.

Life upside is a swine of a thing. Keep popping blood vessels, that can't be good for beast nor man. Doin' what I can Jimbo, let me know if the expansion effects you. Might actually be good for you, but there's undoubtedly something I haven't thought of. Hope it brings a bloody swag of work your way mate. All the best.

mike ... im askin em ... im e-mailing em ... im wandering about like a bush man lookin for the liquid gold ...no joy as yet .... got 3 days off work now ...may intensify the search in a westerly direction ... altho they may not have any in wales !!! ...

Brother I'm taking up the fight for you. I'm gonna contact the brewery and find your nearest distributor, but you need to tell me what area is convenient for you.

contact the brewery ..... why dint i think of that ???

im in telford ... shropshire... middle england .... 45km from birmingham ... im a 3 bed end terrace ..,, off out today to carry on the quest ...

OK Jim, I'm all over this thing like Michael Jackson on a boy scout. Give me a few days, maybe even until the end of the week, and I'll come up with something for you. I'm even gonna push my luck and tell them how you've gone out of your way to find THEIR product for no good result. See if I can't make them feel bad enough to sling you half a dozen freebies for all your trouble. Suspect that won't work because the brewery is here and the problem is miles away - out of sight out of mind. Let's do this thing.

hi mike ... we may be 12000 miles apart but the aims the same !!!

we will seek him till he is buried !!!

Or choke their webers with our dead trying.

day 23 .... captains log .. stardate wotever ...

still no joy ... may have to head south ...

the troups are very worn out and demoralised ...

Tell them their country is relying on them, their cause is just, and God is on their side. Hold the fort fellas.

ok mike ... will do !!

I am informed that there are numerous pubs freqented by Aussies, mainly in the area surrounding London, and they have ample stocks of the liquid gold. Do you ever get to this area? I also understand that there are areas that are where Aussies tend to reside, and these places also have places where VB can be purchased. Having problems contacting the brewery because I leave home before office hours and arrive back well after they've had their dinner. I'll get a chance soon, surely. Meantime see what you can do with the above info - you probably already know where all the Aussies live anyway.

hi mike ... yeah m8 all the aussies tend to live in london .... 200km away frm me ... i do get down there a fair bit so ill park the rig n go looking !!! ...thanx m8 ... get me the brewery address and ill see if they have a uk office ....

Jim I can tell you the brewery address off the top of my head. It's Carlton & United Breweries, Bouverie Street, Carlton. I'm still gonna try from here the first chance I get and I'll let you know what happens.

thanx mike ..... you,re a star !!!

hi mike ... ive found a website for carlton cold ... have sent e-mail askin questions ...have you sampled carlton cold ?? ...it looks good to me !!!

Have I sampled Carlton Cold? I just might have. Jim CUB dont make a glass coaster that I haven't chewd up and tasted - Cold aren't bad, better than Fosters, but I'm gonna get VB to you sooner or later. They are all made by CUB, which I believe is now called "The Fosters Group". Don't you dare give in. Not gonna be using hootoo too much in future Jim, but you can get me on e-mail [email protected]

mike ... ive got a link frm fostersgroupuk .... chasing it up l8r .. ill store your email addy and use that frm now on ... mine is [email protected] soon

OK got you e-mail address, thanks Jim. Still trying to get a chance to contact CUB during operating hours, but think I have an idea.
