180.0. "Happy 4th of July" by SQLRUS::CARPENTER (Quackis Khan) Tue Jul 04 1989 16:04

Hello to all over there!

Just for the fun of it I thought I would wish you all a Happy Fourth of July.

However, in the interest of fair play I will toast the holiday with a John Bull
Lager brewed at the Ind Coope brewery. Couldn't find any Newcastle Brown.

    that's right, and next week we'll celebrate the French, who as the
    BBC put it were revolting 200 years ago...

Well, at least the BBC didn't say that the Americans were 'revolting' 200+ 
years ago as well.  Or are we more revolting today? Who knows. 

Well, the John Bull is gone, I'll have to go to the store. 8*}
