You're lucky it's only 3.2% at that price.
3.2 x 568 ÷ 1000 = 1.82 units, that falls within the 50p per unit limit big brother wants to impose so no fear of retribution.
If they sold ‘Old Empire’ at that price they’d be closed down.

It is the link between success and happiness that he makes that really stinks. I earn more than most people I know and would be considered a success but then my mate down the road hardly makes a bean, has a great life and is very happy.

As usual, he touches upon one or two genuine observations, but then extrapolates further in to la-la land, probably just to shock and keep the ratings going.
He's no journo. Well, not a serious one anyway.

Jezzer says all expats are failures.
My local English pub does a reasonable pint of London Pride. And the guiness is ok. But the Erdinger is great. On the downside, at current exchange rates it's £5.50 a pint.

This "expat" is happy to go with the local food and drink.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostPlan B ...Micro brewery in southern France?
Or British beer home delivery service on the costas?
I expect your average expat would pay a big premeium for 4 tins of John Smiths so I'd imagine they'd pay even more for a few bottles of Badger Golden Champion.
HotCUKDeals... Wychwood Wychcraft is £1.19 down at Aldi.

It's Director's Bitter for me, when I'm not on the port. God, that goes down a treat.
Shame about the blasted widgets in the cans though - Don't get me started on them

Sold in most pubs in Scotland, really nice IPA, light and refreshing with hints of heather.Originally posted by TykeMerc View PostThat's pretty narrow thinking, I've never heard of that beer, but if I'd tried it and it was great at 99p a pint I'd select it in other pubs too.

99p a pint
Just has my first beer in over four months. A pint of Ruddle’s Best; cost 99p down the local Weatherspoon’s and it was lovely.
Not supposed to drink until late Monday (doc’s orders), but I could not resist. Best medicine I’ve had in ages.
Now I’ve got to convince the clients that they should start paying for the service they’ve had for free for the last six months. Got to earn money quick and get out of the country ASAP.Tags: None
