I find JS is OK as a "wash down a hot curry" swill, better cooling effect than lager and you are swigging it rather than tasting it.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by rootsnall View PostI'm scratching my head why the government aren't doing anything about the taxation of pub sold booze, I'm sure their total tax take must be falling all the time as pubs close down ( about to lose my local ). The high tax plus the supermarkets using booze as a loss leader means we'll not have many pubs left at this rate.
Apart from the expense of drink and the smoking ban, most young people these days aren't content to sit around for hours nursing a pint and talking when they can be texting anywhere or on their PC at home. They'd rather save their money for clubbing, where they can take E and dance.
I'd guess the average age of pub regulars is rising year by year - by almost a year! Same goes for buying newspapers.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I can imagine them being proud if it was drinkable but it's better than anything at a real ale pub, might start selling it... give me a break...
But you'd be surprised at the HB kits - the Festival Golden Stag is very quaffable and it's certainly better than JS.
