    RIP,
    I don't think she'd be serving to GOd an angels - it's more like, "ma'am, have a seat and let me get you a drink."

    I'd love to know how many pints she's actually served.

    Well the first sentence of the article says more than 2 million. I'm quite sure there's no way to truly count it.

    So what you're telling me is that by pouring beer I can live to 100. I do that all the time, sweet!

    I'd say with daily averages you could get a pretty good rough estimate.

    Imagine the forearms she must have had pulling all those cask pints...

    Especially since the start of her career coincided with the German Blitz bombing campaign in World War II.

    2,000,000 beers / (74 years *365 days/year) = ~ 74 beers/day.


    oh - and RIP.
