The Big Romance didn't believe it really, really, really could happen so were shocked to find a replica milk carton from Blur's hit Coffee & TV had been taken from the pub on Friday night. The song, which was released at the end of a century in 1999, was a huge hit, in part thanks to the iconic video which featured the milk carton getting lost

The Parnell Street venue had the carton on display but found their bank holiday ruined when they discovered it was missing yesterday. The pub has a tender reason for wishing the carton's safe return as it was gifted to them by a friend and they launched a public appeal to recover it from whatever city dweller may have taken it.

Taking to Twitter, the bar wrote: "*PLEASE HELP* Someone has run off with our original Blur milk carton which has a lot of sentimental value. It was actually bought at a Blur show years ago and was loaned to us by a mate."

Pub bosses later added they would be left happy and feeling glad by the carton's safe return and would bear no ill feelings to whoever engineered its great escape...
