Hanging up the old boots.

Nah, not like *that*. This pair of old faithfuls has done its last shift - heel worn and leaking, they're heading for a cabinet in the Hall of Fame. In my possession alone they've brewed around 4 million pints of beer at 9 breweries in 3 different countries.

"You can use these until you get a pair to fit" said Stevie, as he handed over the keys to the Ferret & Firkin Brewery in Chelsea back in '94. They've flopped around on the end of my legs most working days ever since and I'll miss them.
