Pocket City - Art Porter

Advantages: WARNING- LONG REVIEW. Loads to see and do for adults and kids.
Disadvantages: WARNING LONG REVIEW. Poor disabled facilites and cafe.

It is easilly available from Sainsbury's and probably also from the other main supermarkets. The porter has a smooth, roasty and complex taste. It's quite rich so is more one for a quiet night in than if you want a few more beers. It's colour is very dark, almost black. There is a slight tint of ruby if held up to the light. It holds a thick, tan coloured head which clings to the sides of the glass. This is similar to a stout, only with a sweeter malty flavour and less bitter than ...

Abridged from: http://www.fullers.co.uk/ -------------------------INTERLUDE-------------------------- A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at London Zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials put up a ten foot fence. He was out the next morning, just roaming around the zoo. A 15ft fence was put up. Again he go out. When the fence was 25ft high, a camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo ...
