Black Sheep Brewery go unpassed. Are you aware of the history behind the name?
I certainly am, Bridie: (if I may call you that )
Paul Theakston may be a black sheep so far as the rest of his family is concerned, but he's one of my heroes. Theakston's is still good ale, but the S&N brewery has not improved it - if anything, the reverse is true. Mind you, I'm a Londoner, not a Lancastrian, and that is the excuse I offer for my renegade tendencies re: the wars of the roses.
Tell your sister and B-in-law to try Balck Sheep's "Rig Welter" when next they come over.
BTW, general usage seems to favour Rhu, Rhube, or Rhuby, rather than other diminutives, but I'll answer to any name that precedes the sentence, "... can I buy you a pint?"
