Lucky sod !! Another statistic London Lager drinkers 8.5M, Yorkshire Lager drinkers 15. OK I made that up but i may not be far wrong.

[Oggwyn Trench]

Shropshire population 290,000 , 16 breweries , thats one brewery per 18125 head of population , not bad :notworthy::drinkup:

[Mobyduck]

Yorkshire,1 brewery per approx every 41 square miles
London ,1 brewery per approx every 24 square miles
Don't really know what this means but Iv'e never run out of beer yet :bemerry:,occasionally beer tokens though :(:moremad:

Not one for statistics, but we're all a damn sight better off for breweries than we were 40 years ago:more breweries, more choice!.

I read somewhere that 97.2% of all statistics are made up.

Interesting. I wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact that Yorkshire is pretty much full of Yorkshiremen (and women)?

Isn't it strange how a simple topic can go off on a wild tangent. :evilgrin:

Does my memory fail me [often] but did a dog not die as he peed on a broken, and "live" lamp post?
