Make Mine a Double

So to go with the fab St Patrick cocktail I thought I’d get some little interesting facts in to go with.

Did you know the St Patrick got rid of all the snakes in Ireland by ringing bell…… I think thats where Ray Meers is going wrong all he needs is a bloody bell!!

Did you know that St. Patrick had a bit of a potty month and didn’t always have a have a saintly temper? He liked to put curses on things. When a farmer said he could not let his ox graze in his field Paddy curse the on him and what do you know the land flooded.
