Barman drinks pub dry

A pub landlady, Mrs Jean Pitt, will never forget the day she left a friend behind the bar when she had to visit her sick mother. Her friend, Irish-born Billy Graham, invited a few mates in after normal lunch-time hours and they drank the place dry. When Billy went up-
stairs for a nap, he told his friends to help themselves. They supped so much beer the pub was unable to open for the evening session. The brewery owning The Ship and Castle pub in Falmouth, Cornwall, has now called time on Mrs Pitt and her parttime barman, Billy. “We won’t be using either of them again,” a spokesman said.
