“If Mayor Collison wants to come and have a schooner of Merriwa’s finest tap water I invite him,” he said.
“We can sit down. He can bring his clothes out here and wash them in it then maybe after that we can go out to Cassalis for a dark ale because I hear the water out there is brown. It’s smelly, it’s visually revolting.”
