6.5% nice. My kind of beer

 

Luv probs got his own teat down at the brewery.

 

@luvgonzo ignore these chumps, they’re just jealous

 

Morning, just back from the brewery.

 

I'm not really into all the canned craft beers, although they are very much improved since my day, I might have them if my lad is round but that's generally because he has bought some - which he has and I've got four tall cans of the stuff in the beer fridge, can't remember the names of them. I'm quite boring when it comes to beer, pint of inexpensive 4%+ draught ale does me, sometimes in summer draught lager or when abroad.

Although i'd be tempted to have a try of that one @PINKIE has put up on tap. Although once he tells me the price, I'll probably say fook off.

 

I don't but the expensive stuff often myself. The Sierra Nevada stuff I buy is £4.50 for 4.

I don't really look at the prices when I'm out though.

 

Think I'll do one of my long walks that ends up with a pint of cloudy beer.

 

I don't even know if pubs show the prices anymore, I know they use to have to. If I go in Wetherspoons, they show prices, and micro pubs always show prices on a black board. I know if I go in a chain eatery (aside from spoons) I'm going to get ripped off. I generally pay around £3.60 a pint as an average, some nice pubs I don't mind paying £4, but once they start saying £5+ I get narked. Although readily accept in London that's what I will be paying, like it or not. Spoons around £2 a pint, I'm happy.

 

Saw an old ad poster on twitter yesterday for a packet of cigs, 37p

I always remember I use to put 50p in a cig machine in a pub and soemtimes use to get change tapped to the packet.

 

You grumpy old ****

 

That's me mate. Just because I can afford something, don't mean I'm prepared to pay the price for it. Paying more does not always mean the product is better or to your taste.

 

True… so you ask to taste it first

 

Do you not think I would have already done that, tasted it first.

 

They're all getting on my nerves this morning but they're all going out in different directions very soon.

 

Was going through my old dears things yday and found a penny from 1866, can't remember why it was special to her I think her dad gave her it for something maybe a tooth lol but thats pretty old, oldest coin I've seen anyway myself I'm sure.

Also a dollar note Neil Armstrong gave her when she worked in a hotel before she had me. That's pretty cool too.

 

The dollar might have been worth something if Neil Armstrong had signed it.

I've kept some old coins from the past, but not worth anything, earliest I've got is about 1900. Penny, thrupenny bit, sixpence all that sort of stuff.

 

Nah its not signed unfortunately, that would be cool.

 

Still cool mate, to know she had met the first man on the moon.
