Advantages: A good thirst quencher Disadvantages: Not very complex
mugs or straight noninck tumblers - pint or half pint - that's about it.
One of the few glasses I have in my pathetic collection is a gold rimmed, tulip shaped, flute glass which bears the Fischer logo. This was a 'gift' from a cafe in Strasbourg where I first sampled this brew.
"Mrs.P," I said, "I like this glass. I would like to have one just like it for my very own."
"That's incredibly interesting," she replied, with what I thought was the meerest hint of sarcasm, "you should buy one."
- "Steady on. I don't like it that much."
"You're a mean master." She said. At least that's what it sounded like. She says that I'm so tight-fisted that if I dropped a Ł1 coin, it would hit me on the back of the head.

Advantages: Never feels contrived or false. Disadvantages: Had to end.

The book starts in a war ravaged Liverpool, and centres around a young girl called Annie.
