This could get serious…

The town’s cut off and the shops are running out of food here. No big problem. But… 200 semi-trailers are held up in town and the beer supplies are dwindling rapidly.

      Ah yes, Jonno1–another tragedy struck last night–the historic Burketown pub burned down! :cry:
      It’s the End Times, I tell ya.

        From 9News

        “It is the last remaining of about 26 pubs that used to be in Burketown,” she said.
        The pub’s cold-room is still standing and the local electrician is busily hooking it up to a generator.
        “At least when people knock off they can have a coldie, I hope,” Ms Clarke said.

        Priorities Priorities :grin:

    Do they not have an Air Force that can drop essential supplies? :mrgreen:

      Damned Air Force is distracted with rescuing idiots trying to drive 1 metre high cars through three metres of water.
      Typical Blue Jobs–never here when they’re needed.

    Sounds like you need to investigate methods of beer self sufficiency…

    Rainwater would be good, Ciaron. Except there’s almost no rain where we’re going. :sad:
