Sorry this seems to have turned into a bit of fun. Beer beast is well known to some of us and we know he can take some teasing! As for the Weills disease comments, the person in question did not become potentially infected while working for the unit in question, but in a dig house elsewhere, where it was suspected rats were getting into the cold water tank. Everyone took it very seriously, and he had lots of tests done, but I don't recall whether the results were conclusive. Nobody on this thread is having a joke about Weills disease, trust me. We are just responding to some comments about a well-known character. I will now hang my head in shame, and never attempt levity again. B)
You can always tell a Brummie... but you can't tell him much
