Just never feels quite right buying beer in home bargains.

You could be buying your normal tipple but it feels like you're a tramp buying Frosty Jack.

The selection's a bit hit and miss (the way they buy in stock) but sometimes some pretty good stuff very cheap. I've no shame in that regard 😀

I have never thought of it before but Gonzo is so correct on this

Somehow it just dosent feel right loading up for a session from so obviously not an off licence.

And are on your way to Farnworth park or somewhere for a good drink and shout at the locals.

Picked up a few in there today from Love Lane brewery in Liverpool. Hazy pale, ipa and ne pale. Wasn't expecting them to be great at £1.20 a piece but the first one is pretty nice. Normally think stuff must be shite to end up in there. Might have to go back for some more tomorrow

Quite often the cheapest place for cans of draught Guinness/Murphys

Can't get behind Guinness anything other than a proper pub draught. It's like micro chips compared to proper chippy chips.

£7 pint of some bollocks at Heaton Park.

It could've been £45 I'd have paid it after walking round some lights in a field.

Had a long journey back from daughter's in Sheffield due to the usual train fails, had to stop for refuelling at the Sheffield Tap (Thornbridge Panela Coffee Porter) and Oxford Rd Tap (Ossett Blonde). Needs must 😉

Haha, we did that bollocks a few years back. The things you do for kids eh?

Absolute madness 

£60+ entry fee for a family of 4 plus food for everyone and 3 pints for me. A burger alone was £13.50. Daylight robbery.

Could've flown to Benidorm for the weekend for the same money
