MalcolmW Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 When I was a Christmas Casual on the post in 1968 I was riding shotgun to a parcel delivery driver. The round included Walkers Brewery. The commissionaire gave tokens to visitors entitling the bearer to a pint of mild or a half of bitter in the canteen.

We were well spoiled with the choice of what we had, mild or bitter, the decline of pubs now is really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, that run of pubs on that street leading into the town centre were buzzing when the mills in the area were open, just a shit show of fast food joints now.

Underpants Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Dark mild. When I stared boozing this was my drink of choice. Loved it. Then I found out I was allergic to it. Bollox, I had to change my drinking habit. Then a couple of years ago I saw it on draft and i was tempted by the dark side once again. For old times sake I risked the blotches and itchy skin for one more swig. fuckin shite! How the fuck did I like that shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
