O/T Beer or Water

[gramiller1959]

I wonder how many are not interested in the % proof but more the taste ?


I drink bud but a lot of people complain its too sweet :


during the summer I drank a lot of Radlers lemon and the ginger ones .. they are very refreshing but only 2% proof



then of course some prefer "real ale" yuck

you drink a lot [/quote]


And you don't? [/quote]



ONLY ON STURDAYS

CAM always found the beer/lager tastes wattered down when in the states...can't understand how you the young un's there stagger around like they've been drinking moonshine when you see em with a can o' buds in their hands...

Having said that...the John Smiths at the NYS is the worst I've ever tasted...

I don't know Brin, I think those Watney's Party 7 or Mansfield's Party 4 that introduced me to the evil brew had the same impact all those years back and I don't think they were particularly strong.

I think here is generally OK once you get off the big brewery offerings (Bud, Millers, Coors etc) but I must admit at the local British Pub in Redmond (The Three Lions) I once had a very weak pint of Boddingtons compared to the Fullers they serve.[/quote]

Mackeson...

Spooky![/quote]






true tale here ... as a kid I was skinny (those were the days had a wash board for ribs) anyway Dr McLaughlin, rawmarsh hill told my mother she had to give me stout "guiness or mackeson" to build me up I thought I was 21 walking up and down the garden swigging my bottle of macky I was about 9 at the time


great Dr though, always stunk of whisky, at xmas there was a queue of old ladies taking him half bottles of scotch, he would just turn up at the door on a sunday my mother would say but Dr we aint sent for you ? he replied "I KNOW BUT YOUR A PATIENT OF MINE AND I WAS PASSING SO IVE CALLED " haha true story

another true tale, when we lived on west ave rawmarsh my auntie lived down the street, she did all our tailoring ... can you remember tartan in your jean bottoms etc

anyway flower power was out, cheese cloth shirts etc .. and my sister wanted a flower power 2 piece suit so she went to my aunties anyway auntie toiled and toiled and made the flower power trousers and jacket ... my sister thought she was the bees knees ... later that week she had to go to the doctors ! off she went to rawmarsh hill ,, in them days you took your turn and slowly shuffled your bum up the seats until it was your turn to go in

anyway my sister thought it was funny but everyone in the surgery kept staring at her :/ anyway on she shuffled up the hallway etc ... right at the end about an hour later she twigged what everyone was staring at !!!



her flower power suit was exactly the same material as the curtains in the doctors

My uncle had a downer on them for some reason he used to call them the South Yorkshird Death Squad.


Also I had an elderly great aunt who at Christmas always came out with "got any advocaat, I'll have a snowball" as a youngster I couldn't understand:-

1. Why she drank custard and
2. Why she wanted a snowball fight when it hadn't been snowing

That's funny JR. I think everyone of that era had an Aunt/Great Aunt who drank snowballs - or we all had the same Aunt

She did get about a bit.

Mind you being called Fanny didn't help the cause.
