On a lager note I had a 500 ml Belmont in Soulac sur mer France yesterday and it tasted like a snapped printed circuit board from a 1980's Binatone games console you played those tennis and squash games on the TV.
The disappointment being I bet the leffe would've tasted nicer.
How dare you denigrate the Whisky Mac! Most Scotch other than those from Wales or Ireland is blended rubbish and adding Ginger Wine (Crabbies rather than Stones) makes it drinkable. Next time I brew a batch of Ginger Wine I will add an extra litre of the cheapest supermarket Scotch I can find as a result of your slur!!
I used to pass the Stones place on the way to work and was intrigued one day to see that there was an industrilal alcohol tanker making a delivery there.
Thanks for the memories. In my drinking history, I had a time on whisky mac, and preferred Crabbies to Stones too. Remember Gold Label chasers along with a bitter as well.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
I was going to sample the home brew Christmas ale today but things came up...
I just discovered that the transport direct website has been terminated.
I found it a very useful tool, especially for planning bus transport out in the boonies, and am disappointed that it has closed. Suggestion seems to be that other sites offer similar travel solutions. Hmm, let's see how traveline bears comparison...
