Two small boys on holidays In Whyalla last week, committed the unforgivable sin of knocking the bung from a barrel of beer at the rear of one of the hotels.

The manager said later that he would not have minded if they had broken a window or a door as the damage would be covered by insurance, but to knock a bung from a barrel of beer was nothing short of a tragedy.
