Comments on: Is Didi’s “Special Brew” for the homeless a pun too far? http://www.wordsdept.co.uk/2007/09/25/is-didis-special-brew-for-the-homeless-a-pun-too-far/ <h2>A words-based weblog by Manchester journalist David Quinn</h2> Sun, 15 May 2011 15:42:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Robin Brown http://www.wordsdept.co.uk/2007/09/25/is-didis-special-brew-for-the-homeless-a-pun-too-far/comment-page-1/#comment-781 Robin Brown Sat, 06 Oct 2007 20:53:22 +0000 http://www.wordsdept.co.uk/2007/09/25/is-didis-special-brew-for-the-homeless-a-pun-too-far/#comment-781 I don't think, reading over Dave's entry, that he was suggesting that Didi was literally serving Special Brew to the Wellspring visitors. Speaking as an erstwhile mischievous sub, the prospect of the deliberate double entendre does not seem completely unlikely.

We provide a way out for people who are addicted to Alcohol. I think they used the headline (by the way miss quoted by yourself but i would expect nothing more from a journalist! ) Hamanns Special Brew as the picture of Didi clearly shows him making cups of tea. More information about The Wellspring and the work that takes place can be found at www.thewellspring.co.uk Thanks Jonathan Billings Project Manager The Wellspring. Hello,
