T'is true though. In Glasgow, when I lived there, you used to have to sign
the poisons register to buy meths. Another tramp favourite was coal gas
bubbled through stolen milk.

What's that all about then?! Do explain - never heard of this one!

My Glaswegian labourer is keen to extol its benefits. I'm unsure what
reaction takes place but the milk allegedly becomes intoxicating.
