Don't get your point. Having quickly scanned both versions, the second makes him look just as bad as the first. And it's no better written. He also left the comments up so it's not like he's trying to rewrite history. I don't think the lad's done owt wrong basically.
The comments on the new version default to "newest first". It's just a little thing, but you'll miss most of the fun that way. Only real saddoes (like me) read past the first page of comments.
This is Jon's personal "blog" - I work at an independent microbrewery (a small-scale, artisanal producer of “real ale” and other beery treats), based in the Furness area in Cumbria (or N. Lancs if you'd rather). Or a "Craft Brewer", if you like. We're known as "Stringers", or "Stringers Beer". I don't just make beer - I also sound-off in half-informed rants on a variety of subjects. Like here.
