Time to claim my bonus points!! etc

Tremendous stuff Mick, love the evidence from the books being posted up. Take as many bonus points as you want. What would you prefer from the drinks on offer...gin and tonic with a lime, or a red-stripe beer

SNAX "Hot cock soup fresh daily" tongue-in-cheek stuff from Mr Fleming? Did Roger Moore raise an eyebrow at the sign in the film?

I think I'll draw a line at 10 beer related questions, anyone care to add a couple more so I can have a delve

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

A couple of pages further on in The Man with..... Bond actually ordered a Red Stripe and after chatting up the waitress sees her birds coming in for their daily tea!!:

Own work

As far as choosing G&T or any form of lager its an absolute no brainer for me but it would have to be Fever Tree Light Tonic!!

I'll put up a couple more beer questions in a bit to complete the set!!

[mickthemaverick]

Number 9 comes from Southwold in Suffolk, and is a very nice beer in my opinion

And number 10 is this

Correct on both counts bobins and I agree about the Southwold brew, very nice indeed !!

[NewcastleFalcon]

Well I think we're done so 9 and 10 are

Spoiler: show

Southwold Broadside and Fullers London Pride with Bobins flowers being "london Pride", unless there is something more cryptic in the clue.

All the answers are there in the spoilers if anyone wants to play along.

I declare the Pickled Egg Quiz Beer-Themed 10, a resounding success thanks to all our viewers and joiners-in

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

No one has actually named the brewer of the Southwold offering so there is a bonus 50 points for the first correct name!!

[bobins]

Adnams for 9, and whilst we're at it, Chiswick for 10.
