Tesco cheap beer story - I don't get it!

[SimonMac]

Well, Yorkshire's pretty much Scotland anyway. I've heard that there are actually English counties even further North than Yorkshire, but I suspect that they are mere legend.

Anything below the M62 its France!

You're forgetting just how fast a Scot can move when cheap alcohol is involved.

With neighbours like ours it makes sense to stock up when the price is right.

I think it's a bit sad that people are that desperate to save £10 that they will drink chemical infested piss.

But then I can get 10 litres of decent beer for about €15 so I'm probably spoiled.

So you have beer with no chemical compounds in?

I have beer that is made without the use of synthetic chemicals ingredients, yes.

Are you denying that stella is piss?

I would never deny that Stella is piss, although I haven't done the taste test.


I was getting at something a little deeper. 'Synthetic' beer is still natural as it is made by man who is a natural entity.

It's impossible for man to make anything unnatural unless we aren't natural ourselves.

Maybe in your mind this was the meaning in your original post, sadly it passed the rest of us by.

Synthetic or artificial both have senses in which they mean "man made", and natural has a sense in which it means "not man made" and hence can be considered the opposite of synthetic. Unnatural often means something rather different, but if in this context you desire to use it as a synonym for synthetic then it seems that man is, by definition, the creator of all unnatural things.

If you're going to be a smart arse, you should endeavor get the first part right before you attempt the second.

Aha - so all children are synthetic, being man (and woman) made. It all makes sense now.
