...I will never hear 'The Auld Dun Cow' again without thinking of this story.
Thanks for sharing this fascinating historical note.

You have to blame Clive for bringing it to my attention! 
Glad you enjoyed

Yes I had never heard about this before. Quite an interesting story. I´d heard of streets flowing with milk and honey, but never beer and molasses. There was also a fire in a Danish sugar factory a few years back, which resulted in a lake of caramel being created.

It's my fault entirely. The story, not the floods...

Icy thought I should write up the solar flare / telegraph one, but I'm not in the habit of writing guide entries, despite all the copious research I do for QI.
Perverse of me, I know.
