Georgina Young, Brewing Director said: “There's nothing added to cask beer like carbon dioxide. There's nothing filtered, there’s nothing taken away. So it is the most natural form of beer that there is. The owner was stubborn. Dad came away barrelless and angry, at what he considered a mean injustice. It wasn’t just the money. There was a lot of pride, principle at stake now. The rather flexible moral code of that time and area demanded that barrels must now be pinched.

Joe said: “I went to meet some friends recently, and they've all got jobs, but everyone's most excited that I'm brewing and the fact that I've got a beer in Wetherspoons is the talk of the town.” It’s a double celebration for Cornwall’s largest independent brewer as they mark Cask Ale Week, celebrating the best of British Beer.

Perhaps some Luftwaffe gent did mistake those thousands of empty fifty-gallon drums for a tempting oil refinery.

The barrel store owner had probably got to hear about this over the grapevine. I’d suspect that both he and Dad enjoyed the chat they had. Both East enders: with a weakness for this sort of situation. German accordionist Will Glahe recorded a popular cover titled "Rosamunde" in 1936; three years later, it topped the US Hit Parade as "Beer Barrel Polka" and became a popular jukebox spin throughout World War II, especially after it was covered by the Andrews Sisters. The vocal trio sang English lyrics from Lew Brown (" Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)") and Wladimir Timm about a garden party that livens up when the beer starts flowing. Their version was a #4 hit and spawned a polka craze throughout the country. Dad: (furious) “What!” Ten bloody bob! When you’ve got thousands of ’em? When we’ll be protecting your place ’n all?”In a sense, though, all of the shorts on Roll Out The Barrel are looking to the past: a quest for the 'real' Britain, preserved by the pub, a perpetual attempt to recover something lost (a task that preoccupies people now, seemingly as much as ever, in this bunting-choked year of 2012.). It's the hazy, half-forgotten memory of a thing which may or may not have ever been. This is Britain, as seen through a pint glass, blearily.

A few more placating phrases, to allow Bill to calm down, then:The owner knew of course, that he was speaking to one of the culprits, Dad knew that he knew. In turn, he knew that Dad knew he knew. But by then neither of them cared much. In the Girl Genius comic and webcomic, the titular inventor Agatha Heterodyne creates a fleet of defensive robots from carnival wagons and one from a barrel; that robot plays the polka while wielding a pair of axes.
