    Don't mind a Tulip myself, generally when I'm on the crafty stuff.

    It was more than just slang as everybody used it. I can well imagine John Young frowning upon it but it was a term universally used throughout their estate.

My local Tesco does a huge range of crafty cans now After being diagnosed with a low red blood count I've been on the FourPure Big Milk Stout (for medicinal purposes obviously) and reckon that every can must be the equivalent of half a box of iron tablets or gnawing on some rusty old railings. I'm old enough to remember the old women in early Coronation Street drinking Milk Stout so it must be good. I reckon it also keeps the RWhites virus at bay so it's a win-win situation.

    Absolutely. Youngs was one of a few breweries where "Ordinary" was regularly used for the regular bitter. Gales was another.
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
