It was very amusing when the lorry overturned at Rugby. The rumour quickly
went round that beer was peeing out of the tanker and boaters were dashing
about with buckets. They all returned saddened, to their boats when they
found out it was Kiliber (can't spell it). Low or non alcoholic beer for
those that don't know.
