I expect some of you have heard this before but it was a new one on me.
A guy was offered Carling but said he wasn't a girly, the barman nodded saying "well you know what they say;
"Carling for darlings, Stella for fellas"
I sniggered into my porter (4.8%).

"Carling for darlings, Stella for fellas"
New one to me.
I'm just at the point where Pete Brown mentions Carling in 'Man walks into a Pub'; why did I sort of think it was, say, Scandinavian? - it's from Canada! Built up by Edward Plunket Taylor who, under Brading Breweries, bought up other breweries during prohibition (at a time when, bizarrely, they could produce, but not consume in Ontario- exporting to Quebec) and cleaned up when drinking laws were relaxed. Apparently he also invented the double-sided electric toaster when he was 18...

I could write something choice for Fosters and Carlsberg drinkers, however it wouldn't rhyme. I'm sure you can guess the sentiment though...

At risk of topic-creep, I remember the campaign Courage ran a few years back emphasising the North-South divide with lines (probably not accurately recalled) such as:
"Eeh Ecky Thump. Eh oop chuck. Eeh bah gum. Well, you'd talk gibberish if you had a mouth full of foam"
and
"In the South we put cream on our strawberries, not in our beer".
I think there was another one, but my old-timers is affecting my memory today.

OK. I'll say what many are probably thinking...Drinking from the poisoned chalice.

Blimey, Molson Coors have stumped up £6m for an oxymoron.
