About this............ On October 17th 1814, 8 people died in the London Beer Flood; a vat ruptured in a brewery creating a 15-foot tidal wave. Luckily it was in Norf Lunnen, where the proper drinkers are not like those other ponces. @Barry Haynes http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/The-London-Beer-Flood-of-1814/
