| | Clarification request(s) and responseMarek Daroszewski (MrMarDar): 11:43am Jul 28, 2004: baRy or baTy??? -
Rumpole (asker): 1:05pm Jul 28, 2004: baRy not BaTy -
Marek Daroszewski (MrMarDar): 1:13pm Jul 28, 2004: The only other meaning I can think of is that X is to regain the bars (i.e. on-premise outlets) (sold earlier to competitors), but IMO it is a typo. Let's wait and see what others say... :) -
