    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.

    That is seriously deranged thinking.

    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.

    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.
    This "expat" is happy to go with the local food and drink.

    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

    That'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.
    Sold in most pubs in Scotland, really nice IPA, light and refreshing with hints of heather.

    started a topic 99p a pint

    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.

Working...
