Pete’s Pint Pot is dedicated to the home production & sensible drinking of beer, wine, cider & meads plus a little bit of china painting & a few bits of photograph tampering.

 

If you are affected by any of the articles on this site or any of the issues raised in them, I truly feel sorry for you.

 

Finally the sanity clause: As Chico Marx

famously said to brother Groucho,

 

  “Everybody knows there ain't no

     Sanity Clause!”
