Offshore Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 used to have a babycham warehouse near where we played when kids, at the back of a railway line. Workers used to leave crates of stuff hanging around outside the fencing which stopped the local scrotes breaking in and nicking the stuff. I remember going to school discos with a mix of cherry b, pony and babycham in a jubly packet. Was a great bird puller when you 14. Can you still get Toby light?

It caused the worst headache known to man. Stones !! 1 sniff of the barmaids apron was guaranteed to give you a 2day headache. Greenhalls Bitter - ok Burtonwood - grim Oldham Ales - so so Bacardi n coke - mainly in the South of France. Did a Del Boy , but into the cellar. Oranjeboom - Amsterdam Bar Horwich and The Vulcan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a stronger option, around 8% I think. Oh, and JFTR, I didn't chuck my empties into your garden Edited January 29, 2021 by DazBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted January 29, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2021 Stones and Toby Light were the coldest drinks in he world. You could store Covid vaccine in a pint of either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s perfect it really is, when you get a good pint no bubbles in the cream on top, right temp there’s no better pint, I don’t mind paying more for a good drop of it, better than paying top dollar for a shit pint of lager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) My late old man should've had shares in Guinness - he must've supped well into a six figure total in pints in his sixty-odd year drinking 'career'. In my ongoing project to turn into him, aside from foibles like having three pisses before bed, Guinness has pretty much got exclusive rights to the McAnespie liver these days. But a big mention for McEwans Export Ale... Delicious stuff at a decent price. £4.25 for 4x500ml at Morrison's - or £3.83 with NHS Discount. Becks should be ashamed of themselves - they move brewing here for UK sold stuff, they reduce to 5%, then 4.8% and now 4%..? Stick it up your arses.
