“So this happened in Montana. I'm on my way to go to my interview this morning when I get pulled over by a police officer.

I am native American and my friend that was with me is black. Just saying.

Both brake lights decided to go out this time.

As he walked to the car and I was pulling out my stuff, he quickly said,

"Don't worry about pulling anything out. I just want you to know that your brake lights are out."

So I'm immediately upset, because I just got them replaced like last month.

So I explained to him how Firestone wants to charge me $600 just to run a test on the wiring of the car.

He looked at me like 😨 and told me to pop the trunk.

He checked the lights in the trunk and tapped them, but they didn't come on.

So he told me to pop the hood to check the relay box then asked me to get out to check the other one.

Then worked on the wiring under the dash.

He could've easily given me a ticket, but Officer Jenkins stepped out of officer role, and into mechanic role, and human role to make sure I was straight.

By the way HE FIXED THEM."

Can't get enough of good London Pubs...... where beer connects everything and everyone. Remembering Ed Vidunas..... in the early New Year with a plaque.

We are very sad to have heard of the passing of this wonderful gentle man who for many was the face of CAMRA West London. We knew Les Mags for over 20 years & were lucky enough to have him hand over a good few CAMRA awards to us over that time .. he always attended beer launches & tasting events adding his ale enthusiasm & knowledgeable observations to every visit. We last saw Les in September for his birthday at The Vic. So long kind sir .. we hope you are enjoying a pint of ESB in the most convivial of pubs in the sky Les, we raise a glass to you.

The Treasury has announced changes to Small Brewers Relief (SBR) – the progressive tax system that has revolutionised UK brewing. These changes will reduce the 50% duty threshold from 5,000hl to 2,100hl: small breweries will have to pay more duty, whilst larger breweries could pay the same or less...
