Nice one Evan, and it brings back happy memories.
The pub across the road from me, sadly long closed now, used to be a great laugh. One Landlord had at one time been a Royal Navy deep diver (mixed gas and air) and had a great sense of humour. This was at the time of a TV Ad for Guinness featuring a swimmer beating a record for swimming out to sea, around a buoy and back, winning pints of Guinness, which had been poured and were just nicely settled as he landed.
So, when the Guinness ran out in the pub, and was being changed, we would wait patiently, but said Landlord sometimes forgot to 'pull it through' and serve those waiting, at which point he'd make the excuse that the swimmer hadn't rounded the buoy yet.
So I got a Sea Sprite model, painted it 'Rescue Yellow', with the lettering 'Sun Inn Rescue' on the side, and a red, flashing L.E.D. underneath, and suspended it, high above the Guinness pump,out of immediate site, on fine nylon fishing line, conveniently tied-off where we could reach it.
Every time the Landlord forgot, we'd lower the chopper, whilst the lads slapped their legs rapidly, imitating the noise of rotors.
Great fun !
Anyway, back to the thread .........
