St Basillisa is the patron saint against chilblains


When I was a Teenager 40 years ago My Mum told me never to put my hands in really hot water when I came in from the cold to instantly warm up as it would give me chillblains.

For once she was wrong(in my case) I have continued to come in from the cold in the heart of Winter to do this and not a chillblain in sight!

Oh, leave it it out TLS, are you suggesting, he was taken at gun point to a studio, a cocked pistol held to his head and forced to produce the song? Including the slightly 'skewiff' guitar solo?

Are you honestly suggesting that the bass guitarist on the session Ron Wood, wouldn't've perhaps called on some tasty members of the 'water gypsy' community to 'have a word'. I think you may be speculating.


Unless of course Don Arden was involved, if so, it could well have been just as you say.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]
