    Default Beer beats paracetamol for pain relief, study says.

    I suspect one or two of you might have already seen this, but for those of you who haven't:

    I have no sympathy whatsoever with the shareholders and executives of Punch. They shouldn't receive a dividend for being involved in this travesty, and hopefully their share value will fall as karma for the way they have treated their publicans and the communities their pubs (should) serve.

    Punch and Enterprise are useless but I fear that Heineken UK will be even worse. This is the only one I've been to that hasn't been a complete waste of time. Most of them just sell dross from Caledonian and Wells,
