Poor darsy

At least I was getting proper beer[1], not that
"weak-as-dish-water-with-a-foamy-top" stuff that you get up there!

[1] I'm fairly sure that the most "Northern" beer I had was from
Bedford.

 

Eh? Fuckwits, all.

 

£2.90 for a pint of 6X in my local last night. Lager's around the £3.50
mark, I think.

 

Same here.

Charlie Wells, then? Well, OK, might have been "Courage" (we call it
'Defectors' now.

£2.50 for CW IPA in Mid-Beds, £2.70 for the "premium" Directors. In the
cheapest pub in the area, mind - over £3 a pop in Bedford itself.

 

Three quid in London I can see. In Bedford it is taking the piss,
surely.

 

And having grabbed, grabs on.

 

Ha! I knew you were lying about being in your 40s!

I should still be able to get a pint of decent bitter for under £2.50,
possibly under £2 depending on where I go.

 

I'm all for that too but the NHS spends a vast amount of money on things
like peripheral services such as making more feckin kids and providing cover
for furriners and people with low IQ's. I could have £10B off that in a
trice and another 50B off social protection et all.

 

'Scuse me but did I suggest shutting it down? not at all. But it does
loads of unecessary shit.

 

nor do I

 

I'm sure Champ wouldn't approve but you too have hit on my first target.
Social Security and Protection costs. Actually never mind the NHS the
entire cost could probably be met from that quarter.

Then again our esteemed friend probably has no idea what actually gets
handed out. Unfortunately I do, and it rankles.

 

I'm stopping in Runcorn at the moment and Stella is £3.30 a pint which
I don't think is bad for a hotel bar yet the northern contingent bitch
like **** about it.

 

Prices in the third world are often lower.

There are places round here that aspire to that status.

 

Frozen north in more shit than 3rd world non shocker.
