Letter: By golly

Published 6 February 1999

From Roger Watters

Concerning the relative therapeutic efficacy of heroin and stout
(Letters, 19 December 1998, p 103),
there is no doubt in my mind. When I lived in London,
from 1963 to 1966, there was a dear old fellow who, in a West Country burr,
exhorted all who watched commercial television to partake of Mackeson stout
because: “It looks good, it tastes good and, by golly, it does you good.”
