Every picture tells a story

Thanks to everyone who sent in captions to our JCB Jubilee ale pic from last week. We wanted to know what Ambassador the horse was saying as Masterpiece got a drink.

There were plenty of drinking and driving jokes, and plenty of unprintable answers. Particular thanks to Martin Daykin from the Campaign for Real Ale (as well as QS John Gibbs Partnership) whose drawing suggested how 'designer' lager could be produced by Masterpiece (no prizes for guessing).

A JCB employee bravely faxed us this offering: 'I bet the chief executive does that to all the girls' but asked to remain anonymous.

The appropriately named Alan Beere of Ballards Plant Hire suggested: 'This JCB hydraulic oil definitely lubricates parts other oils can't reach.'

But the winner is Rod Lovell of Wyseplant who reckons a miffed Ambassador is saying: 'Actually, shire horses don't give a JCB 3CX for that stuff.' Bubbly on the way.
