Temptations

(John)  I know I left England for really good reasons, but man, the sacrifice I made.  The Lake District is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t get enough.  But when I see the selection of beer available at give away prices I know that were I to return I would indeed be a doomed man. I would have to live under a big mountain and climb it every day in order to counteract my lust.  Yesterday I had an affair with an ‘Old Man’ from the Coniston Brewing Company, today I have trifled illicitly with a ‘Black Sheep’ called Riggwelter.  I have also daily toyed with Old Speckled Hens and Marston’s Pedigree.  I have even had cheap thrills with supermarket brands in stubby bottles that make Canadian domestics taste like a night home alone watching re runs of Bay Watch.  It won’t end there, the choice is endless and I have three weeks to go.  God help me!
