You are correct not bitters but bitter. I did use Coopers Bitter for my

And I am just 1/2 Limey. I guess that is the reason for the mis-quote.

I just got DNA results back from Ancestry.com and discovered some
interesting things. 1. No native American in spite of what my parents told
me. 2 I'm something like 45% British and 25% Italian Greek. This was a bit
of a shock since my last name is L'Herault, very French and based on a
region in southern France. Turns out that the sphere covered by the Italian
Greek DNA stretches into southern France. Now to bring this back on topic,
I guess the heavy British gene is why I'm driving a Triumph and not a
Citroen, and it may be why I like the darker British Ales rather than the
American stuff generally available. Give me a Newcastle Brown or (don't' I
wish I could still get it here) McEwans Scotch Ale.
I took the battery out of my TR-6 last week after taking it for a last drive
on a warm day before the predicted cold snap. I had to jump it to get it
going and the next day the battery was almost flat again. I had to jump it
to get it out of its stall so that I could do some work in the area so I
used the opportunity to confirm that the alternator was charging (around 14V
if I recall correctly). I gave it a full charge before putting it on the
maintainer but I think it may be holding less and less of its charge as the
days go by. Looks like a new battery will be my first spring purchase for
the TR-6.
