Here are some queries sent to me by Fred Martin. Only one remains unsolved!

wpeA.gif (13894 bytes) This beermat advertises U Svateho Tomase, a pub in Prague, a beautiful city that Linda and I had the pleasure of visiting in October 1997. We had a most enjoyable lunch in "St. Thomas's", to give it its English translation, and came away with a few of the beermats ourselves.
Schlegel Urtyp certainly had me scratching my head. With French writing and a German sounding name, it sounded as though it might be Belgian; but there nothing with that name in my Belgian lists. Fortunately, Gitta Gnudtzmann and Christian Dufrasne have got in touch to tell me that the company is the Schlegel-Scharpenseel Brauerei from Bochum in Germany. Christian adds that the company was founded in 1854, some its other brands being St. Barbara and Drei Schlegel. By the way, does anyone have a copy of this mat spare to trade with me??! wpeB.gif (12497 bytes)
wpe14.gif (15977 bytes) Brigand brought the most replies! The beer is produced by the Belgian brewery Van Honsebrouck from Inglemunster in West Flanders. The company was founded in 1900 and is the only one outside of the Brussels area to produce lambic beers. Many thanks to Martin Fisette, Christian Dufrasne, Lars Wybouw, Fernando Cardoso, Inazio Hernando and Cyril Pagniez.
Hero is a fruit drink produced by Bramalto of Lebbeke in Holland, according to Christian Dufrasne and Lars Wybouw. Marcel Zumstein tells me that the parent company is Swiss and has a web site at http://www.hero.ch . Jo Ramakers who now lives in Sault St. Marie in Canada can remember the drink as a small boy in Holland. wpe15.gif (15173 bytes)
wpe16.gif (10837 bytes) Black Bottle Whisky is produced by Johnny Walker in Scotland. Many thanks to Ken of that country who did not leave his surname.
Cans Meanz Jobs, I assume to be an English mat extolling the benefits of recycling old cans in Grantham in Lincolnshire. wpe17.gif (10916 bytes)
David MaCarthy of Edinburgh has identified 45 South as a New Zealand whisky and sent me a picture of another of their beermats. Can anyone say who the manufacturer is? 45southb.gif (42874 bytes) wpe19.gif (10575 bytes)
So, can anyone identify this coaster and complete the page?! wpe18.gif (8446 bytes)
