    I went to school just down the road from the Charles Wells brewery in Bedford. Never been inside the brewery, but I remember the smell.

    Aah, memories...
    I used to go to school in Aston, Birmingham, a short walk from both the Ansells brewery and HP sauce factory. Always had the smell of one or the other in the playground and one hell of a stink if they were both on the go!

    A typically bad day on the M6 yesterday saw me taking a detour via Stoke-On-Trent and back through Burton-On-Trent, which was always a big brewery town. Couldn't smell the brewery yesterday, but a work colleague and Burton resident assures me that the smell, combined with the Marmite factory, can be pretty nasty!

    Pete S i used to work in Aston! Straight up the road leading directly away from the rail station, a couple of hundred yards up there. The scenic delight of a lunchtime walk down the canal under spaghetti junction...

    A yes - a trip I used to make on a regular basis. I used to get the train in from Chester Road and then walk up past the Villa, Aston Hall and through the park to school. Of course both the brewery and sauce factory are now long gone. Always wondered what happened to the HP sign - it was a bit of a landmark, clearly visible from the A38M on the way into Brum.

    Ansells, HP sauce and Burton-brewed beer. Well one of them is (well, should be) world-class; the others I wouldn’t consume for a lot of money

    Anyone heard from dom? Is he on the Facebook?

    He is indeed on the facebook DT, as evidenced by recent fb photo (if this works...)

    Thanks Bill, nice one

    Brett might be able to advise. I’m invariably on my phone and only get a ‘mobile version’ of the forum

    In the brower you should be able to request the "desktop" version of the site.
    Using Chrome on my android phone, I can do that though the menu link
