Proper hangover tackle that was, no idea why.

Always enjoyed walker's when I got it.

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.

The bitter was miles better, hence the difference in allowance.

Rolling Rock.

Might be on my own but an ice cold light beer at the end of the day is top stuff.

We were well spoiled with the choice of what we had, mild or bitter, the decline of pubs now is really bad.

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.

My underage days were spent supping pints of labatts in what is now the ale House in Horwich

Don't think I've seen it since then 

Beck's on draught. Plenty of it about four or five years ago but can't find it anywhere now.

Colt 45 in a pub in Torquay 74.

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?
