Bath time

A bit about keg beer. The kegs sit upright in the cellar and the connector goes on the top. The keg contains a spring loaded spear through which the beer travels. When you put the connector on it pushes the spear down and lets the beer out. When you take the connector off, the spear moves up and seals the keg.

Usually

I was lucky. The spear closed about a second and a half after I took the connector off, so I only got two or three pints of lager sprayed over me. If it doesn't close at all, roughly half the keg comes out.

Very very quiet in the bar today. Everyone's back to work. Fortunately our resident workmen are also back to work so we're near enough full tonight.
