I'm sure many of my students will be both surprised and proud when reading this article. I think I'll use it on Tuesday evening in a lesson with a group of IT specialists who are well-known for their tea drinking habits 🧐

It’s not every day that a cider-drinking group from my home county of Somerset lands a number one hit in the UK—but that’s exactly what happened 50 years ago.
Curious about the story (and the rather strange lyrics)? Come and see me at PeLS in Braunschweig and let’s chat about it over a drink.
Cheers!

Neugierig auf die Geschichte (und die ziemlich ungewöhnlichen Songtexte)? Dann kommt vorbei bei PeLS in Braunschweig und lasst uns bei einem Getränk darüber plaudern.
Prost!
