Hey Joe - why don't we discuss this over a beer in the pub tonight?

The pub's the Drake's Drum on the Aldridge Road in North Birmingham. I can get
the postcode, if you need to go to www.streetmap.co.uk to draw a map - it's easy
to find - not far from Jn 7 of the M6 (about 50 minutes from Oxford at a decent
clip).

You know me - anything for a laugh...   :)
