DIDO.1 22,844 Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I did a mouse job for 1 of his neighbours. She said he was a right arse to his wives.....hence the number he went through. Ive told the story before but worth repeating. A local brewery did a real ale called Fred's cap. His widow wanted royalties for using his name. The brewery changed the name to 'flat cap'. Their next brew was named 'gold digger' and the one after 'old slapper'. 1 17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
