$40 for an old Watney's tin? It's not even a Party Seven. Or bleedin' Red Barrel.

Oh, was the 'pint that thinks it's a quart' Whitbread Trophy?

(No, I don't know where all this is coming from. Either seventies commercial telly was dominated by ale adverts, or those were the only ones that stuck in my head. [ See previous discussion of my dodgy heritage. ] )

Nice one cyril

Yes, indeed it was.

Vernon (the twatty haircut, not the pools) is surely a re-animated version Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart or possibly the bastard son of the aforementioned and the thick one from 'Man about the House'

Before that it put out the fire. Rugged bloke driving a crawler through a desert, IIRC. In the days when you could drink nasty later and drive agricultural machinery.

Courage AK was 'Proper beer, for proper beer drinkers' (Prototype Tetley Bittermen, apparently)

... "Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart looming over you, face contorted in the throes of sexual ecstacy."

There's something terribly wrong with my head.

Thanks for moving the terrible wrong into my head.

Doing anything on Saturday? We'll be breaking out the Red Barrel. Come and be ammusing at people.

For those of us who drink mild, a pint still is 2 units :)

Do you remember the miniature pumps that were fitted to the cans? The worked off the shiny green compressed gas bulb thingies - I think we called them 'sparklers'. Great for throwing on the bonfire.

customer is opening a brewery in cheltenham

do you want a nod when he needs tasters?

(and hes going to do party 7s)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Yes. Actually, let me know if he needs labourers. I fancy working in a brewery. I could organise piss-ups. (or not).

[red-mel.livejournal.com]

If you want any beer glasses, towels or mats from odd breweries, shout!! I am a rather fantasic barmaid after all x

[specialunclet.livejournal.com]

its just going to be a microbrewery in battledown so no jobs for a while

although the tasting thing is on the cards

and no you couldn't could you

[malcygoff.livejournal.com]

Hm, odd, the "convert $->?" button doesn't have "realistic price" as an option.
