And the Winners of the Caption Contest 2011 are....... 1st place Chris Lasham (Tests quickly revealed that 'lift and drag' were more complicated than the Real Ale team had anticipated.) and 2nd place, John Pendry (you were supposed to pour the vodka on the grass, so IT would be half cut!). Congratulations to both, your tickets are on the way.. Big thanks to all those who entered..
