...but in the UK a hogshead is 3 kilderkin, a kilderkin is 2 firkins and a firkin is 9 gallons, making the pipe 108 gallons.

No wonder the UK moved to metric...

We have a pub near us called the Hogshead and now I know why, thanks Sweetpea.

Let's see, the outside of the house is decorated beautifully, what else is required?
