I do, although I haven't had it for ages I either have a fry up, or drink a strange green smoothie for breakfast
You're a geezer Kempton, not some constipated, ****in' tree hugger! You're a full English, with extra black pud, and a mug of tea, with 5 sugars in it ......... AllfuckingBran, I should cocoa!
Talking of lager, something I never knew was on the commentary for the Tour de Yorkshire. Mr Carling, the original maker of Carling beer, that was made to a Yorkshire recipe provided by his father, was born and raised in Etton and left for Canada with his dad's recipe to earn his fortune. Seemingly, the Light Dragoon pub in Etton,doesn't serve Carling.
All bran with banana, fresh raspberries/blueberries with low fat natural yogurt or ***E (greek yogurt not ladies bits) ... lovely!!
It's duck food mate, your inner geezer knows it, that's why it scours your guts and empties the contents through your chocolate starfish - the motorcycle chaps and myself are going back to the Scottish Borders in September, to the the home of the FULL Scottish, which is a full English with added haggis, spicy black pud and a tattie scone ......... I have that at 08:30 and don't need another bite to eat till dinner at 21:00, saddle up Kemps, you'd love it!
Your inner geezer? Have you just bought a pimped Nova with spinners and a banging base box in da' boot?
Tell me more, if you can help I'd like to research this as I work for a beer, wine and spirit merchant (www.willowpark.ca).
Chocolate Starfish, ***E, Inner Geezer; the thread that just keeps giving. Edit: Of course I knew what ***E is! Some might think it a Prince Philism for Her Maj's fumbly bits, but not me. ... Jeez, Lincs, there was no need to explain.
I'm not much help I'm afraid. I googled it when I heard the comment,and most just gave short pieces that say no more than what I posted. I'd be interested in knowing more detail. Most seemed to say he 'lived' there, but not specifically that he was born there. The Carling brewery site had about the most, and that was about a paragraph. https://www.carling.com/heritage Carling’s British roots trace all the way back to the Yorkshire village of Etton, little known, but forever in the hearts of Carling as the birthplace of our namesakes, William Carling and his son Thomas. Inheriting his father’s passion and skill for brewing, a 21 year old Thomas emigrated to Canada taking his father’s Yorkshire beer recipe, which on arrival in Canada he used to brew privately for admiring family and friends. The township Thomas settled in soon became an Imperial Army post where the thirsty soldiers became fans of the Carling family’s Yorkshire brew. In 1843 he built his first commercial brewery, only for his sons William and John to take up the baton soon after, and begin producing lager for the first time in 1869, sewing the first seeds of Carling’s refreshingly perfect pint. Seemingly the Carling family haven't owned it for a long time. http://corzman69.tripod.com/id23.htm To keep the football link, it was one Ian Dowie, that expanded sales. There's a tiny bit more on here that could open up a bit more. http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/carling/45/ Hi Gwendolynne,Ruth must have been the younger sister of my gr.grandmother x 8,Hannah,born at Etton in 1755 to William and Margaret.They were small time farmers and young Thomas emigrated to Canada in 1818 were he founded the famous brewing empire,the Carling Beer Corporation.The English descendants remained in agriculture and obscurity around Yorkshire for many more years.I attended an amazing reunion at Etton in 2000 when six Canadian family members attended.A plaque to commemorate Thomas was unveiled on the wall of the village hall by Carling Bassett,the former Wimbledon tennis star.I am one of the family still living in the Beverley area. To me,it looks like Carling Basset's Christian name was her mothers maiden name, which I guess is a nod to her maternal ancestors. A bit more... Thomas Carling’s baptism record from Etton Church shows that his father, William Carling (1761-1844), was a farm labourer, although by 1823 the directory of Edward Baines describes him as a farmer. The production of beer was also very much a cottage industry and we know that William Carling brewed his own. The Etton Enclosure Act was passed in 1818 and this may explain William Carling’s change of status from farm labourer to farmer. It may also help to explain why, in 1818, his 20-year old son, Thomas, (the youngest of William’s five children) decided to leave Etton and seek his fortune in Canada. The 19th century was a time when many working-class people, seeking a better life and the chance to own land of their own, left for the colonies. Without a single friend or acquaintance aboard the ship, Thomas Carling sailed from Hull on 17th May, 1818. Arriving in Quebec a month later, he then began an arduous journey on foot and by boat to London Township in Ontario, where he obtained rights to 100 acres of land. By the end of 1819, Carling was clearing trees to create farmland, building a log cabin and within a year had married the daughter of another pioneering family, Margaret Routledge. They brought up five children together in an area of Canada that was still largely wilderness. After 20 years of enduring the hardships of Ontario farm life, Thomas Carling sold his land and moved his family to the nearby settlement of London Township.
A real long shot linked to Carling, but this little snippet could link the FA rules to Carling and this region, but it is a very, very long shot. It'd be quite a coincidence though. http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=18&p=surnames.carling Thanks: I have received a little more information since I entered the posting. This may help you with your research also. Mary Carling and Hannah Carling are sisters, their father is John Carling (born 1771)and their mother is supposedly Anne Hodgins (born 1776). John Carling and Thomas Carling (the brewer) are brothers. It looks like many families in that area of Yorkshire emigrated to Canada and settled in Middlesex County just West of London Ontario. The children from these families married each other. The last names of the Yorkshire emigrants were Mason, Beverley, Long, Coulson, Morley, Carling and a few others. We are finding out that life long friends from West London are actually cousins from this group of Yorkshire families. As the story goes these families from Yorkshire helped each other clear the land and when the day was over Thomas Carling would serve all the helpers his famous drink (Carling's Black Label)and the rest is history
