    yeh i was thinking that, easy to spot everyone but i'm perplexed about why condensed milk?

    You know the way in movies if there's a blind date one person usually says they'll be the person wearing a carnation flower so the other can spot them? well the brothers didnt want to have to be wearing a flower when meeting up with the other brothers, so next best thing was condensed milk made by 'Carnation'

    Make sense?

    i was thinking of going to this until i saw the requirement of some sort of powdered milk, who the hell would want powdered milk or whatever it is, might still go though pop my boards beers cherry

    Powdered or evaporated milk is not acceptable. It must be Carnation Condensed Milk, nothing else is permissable.

    As mentioned by the ladies, it was how the Brothers were able to identify each other at the first BGRH beers, and has been adopted as a compulsory rite of passage for anyone attending their first BGRH beers. Brother DesF is the Keeper of the Cans, and has in his possession possibly Ireland's largest collection of condensed milk.

    Ginny is a legend, and as such is entitled to brag about it. :D

    Well there has been at least one banoffi made to reduce the stockpile slightly (not by Brother Des I might add), and very tasty it was too.

    It wasn't at a beers, it was a non-official BGRH gathering. That said, one of the lovely mods here (WindSock I do believe) did bring banoffi to the last beers, but it was gone in record time and I never got any. :(

    I'd be tempted to bring one, as I make a mean banoffi, but not nearly enough for 50 people. Maybe I'll make a small one, just for you Zaph!!! :D

    bring cake! it'll be fun! altho i'm not a banoffi fan..... i'll have to go hunting in tesco tomorrow for condensed milk. if i see anyone else buying it i'm gonna automatically assume they're a boardsie and make friends with them. i don't think i'd ever heard of condensed milk before i discovered boards.

    It will be my pleasure.

    And there's no need to be scared, we're a friendly bunch. However, if you are nervous about coming in, PM one of the ladies, or even myself, and get a number so that someone can come out to meet you. A few people have done that before.

    Easily arranged. I'm more than happy to come out and bring anyone in, but if you prefer one of the ladies I'm sure there'll be several willing to volunteer their services.

    It's not often Brother Recliner displays such wisdom, but when he does it's worth listening to.
