Really? I doubt there's much difference between those bottled beers other than the basic ingredients. I don't like either.
Maybe I have my timing wrong. But sure vauxie boys were running wild in your time. Apologies if incorrect
They may well have been Comm. The late 70's and early 80's weren't a good time for me. I've chosen to forget a whole lot of time.
Yonks ago one of my elderly rellies reacted to beer going up to 50p a pint, or as he put "ten shullin" he vowed never to buy one again and he didn't. Last visit to UK in 2010 it shocked me to pay 1.80p for a pint of John Smith's.
