Worked one summer at Dutton's for about eight quid a week ... that would be in '63. But we got a healthy beer ration twice a day ... pi$$ed as a rat every day

There were only three of us working in the malt storage; but we got the beer ration for 12 men

... part of a union agreement when the malt store was automated ... and the charge hand was the only tea-total Irishman I ever met: Tommy O'Rourke. So that was a twelve man beer allowance for just two guys.
