In a Brewery. Their poop is used in a food-safe way to smoke malt to create a unique stout beer.

The Japanese brewery Sankt Gallen created a beer with elephant dung, which reportedly immediately sold out. According to Drinks Business: The beer, which is called Un, Kono Kuro, is made using coffee beans that have passed through an elephant. The Sankt Gallen brewery called the beer a “chocolate stout,” despite it not containing any chocolate.

Unquote.

I think I'll stick to Mackeson, thanks.

I am beginning to worry that digging all this sh8t up will affect sales of certain stouts. And maybe stop people buying any of them, just to be on the safe side.

Incorrect on two counts.



Happy Christmas.

[tugfan]

Ah, yes, you asked for the class. That would be Dealey class.

2560 - Caption on the pic on Reddit:
Mk48 torpedo passing under a Dealey class destroyer escort USS Bridget (DE-1024) during an exercise in 1972.

USS Bridget was decommissioned in September 1973, so this 'miss' must have been intentional.

[Sparkie2182]

"That would be Dealey class"

It would.

They both belong to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Henderson Island & Belle Isle.

2567 - the what; it’s what we call a brick skew arch and I have seen countless versions over the years.
Most of this design carry a railway line, some, like this one, have a foot access gate to a ramp.
The unusual style of parapet railing and lack of maintenance suggest it no longer carries a live railway.
The where; looks familiar but off the top of my head I haven’t a clue.

[Makko]

Malcolm, could it be a Canal bridge? Plenty near Rugby. I think Railway is too obvious. Where? Not a clue!

[Malcolm G]

An aqueduct? - the arch to top don’t seem deep enough, but I might be wrong.

The two islands are connected to a town in North Cumbria..
Belle island is correct.
