DIDO.1 22,661 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Win his house for a tenner is a bit weird A local brewery did a beer called flat cap with a picture of Fred on the pump clip. Apparently his wife put in a claim saying she owned his image....now the beer shows a random bloke in a flat cap. The brewery's next beers were called 'gold digger' and a few other mad blonde woman themed names 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gav 1,708 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Guy had it as a heritage/museum house for a while then sold all Fred's stuff off at auction and shut it down, said he couldn't afford the upkeep. Shame now its come to this, wonder if the blue plaque dedicated to Dr Fred is up on the gable end? Seems like another cash cow idea from greedy buggers using his name!
