..........to a Sunday morning. I must admit to not paying attention while purchasing some beer yesterday. On the way back from town running errands for Mrs Remote I took the opportunity of grabbing a few beers for watching the rugby after listening to the City. Wandeing around the local Tesco Express I spotted bottles of beer, 3 for £5 . I'm quite partial to Morland's Old Speckled Hen so when I noticed some Old Crafty Hen I thought I'd give it a go. Was a little surprised when they rang up £2.90 a bottle, but the offer of 3 for a fiver stood. The beer was good if a little sweet for my palate. Anyway, a good point for us given the other results and an exciting win against France before an evening meal with a couple of glasses of red. By mid evening I was in a relatively merry state, more than would be expected normally for the libation taken. The state was supported this morning with a sluggish start but was explained as I was putting out the empties. Old Crafty Hen says the bottle, a premium beer at 6.5%. Note to self: read the labels of beer bottles, the content of which is unfamiliar to you. Second note to self: re-visit local Tesco Express and check the shelves for more bottles of Old Crafty Hen at 3 for £5.
You could have avoided the slow start this morning if you'd bought some burgers when you were there. You'd be cantering by now.
Being a horse owning family, my daughter is failing to see the funny side of the horse burger saga. On a serious note (not something usually associated with this site I know), it looks as if this is criminally oriented. The serious bit being that horse meat is entering the food chain that contains drugs dangerous to humans. Horses have a Horse Pasport that lists any treatment they have had. Once certain drugs have been administerd the pasport is marked as being unfit for entering the human or animal food chains. Bute is an anti-inflamitory that causes serious mental problems in humans. I must admit to finding the jokes knocking about amusing. There is a serious side though.
