In the days of my youth in Cornwall we used to drink the local scrumpy. Farmers sold it by the 5 gallon barrel for about £10, no extra charge for the bits in it.

Tasted like apple juice and straw, 2 pints and you'd have trouble walking.

We'd sling the barrel on a scaffold pole and take it with us on a friday or saturday night out.

Addlestones... we used to call it Addlebrain in my local

One of the regulars, a chap in his early forties, used to drink six or seven pints of it a night, every night. After about six months of this he woke up one morning feeling as if he was going to die. He managed to drag himself down to A&E, where he was seen quite quickly due to his dreadful appearance.

The doctor examined him and announced cheerfully "It's OK - you've just got DTs"

He switched back to lager after that

Yes, it's not a session drink

Haven't seen it round our way, but you can get Addlestones Cloudy & Aspalls on tap in a select few bars and pubs around here, both of which are fine drinks.

One of my faves

If you want cider, stick to a Weston's.

I suppose you don't need that timex then ?

No, I don't. Also have a collection of Brietlings on automatic watch winders in a glass case I don't use much either.

Good for cleaning sinks or topping up batteries.
