    Ok, I'm going to print off this thread and take it to the shops. I've realised I pass a Sainsbury's on the way too so might call there instead of Asda (I hate Asda).

    So. If I get a mix of bottled euro stuff, some ale type stuff and maybe some generic pub stuff, that would be ok you reckon?

    Asda is like a living social experiment :wink:

    I reckon a mix of 'stuff' should cover you :lol:

    The one next to the velodrome certainly is. Elite athletes, fat people, and not much else in between.

    Hang on,

    Did they not condemn the car, How do you know that they havent just stood around dipping there hands in grease for two days before saying

    "oooo Sorry love, 'tis the fuel injector, tsss, be expensive to replace that, you might as well scrap it"

    That is what I think most bike mechanics in a certain large chain do anyway....

    Yes, they'll be grateful whatever you give them. If they're not they didn't deserve it in the first place.

    Absolutely, always be grateful for what you get.

    Boff, have you been following (or stalking as its known) female forumites again? LiT, CafeWanda, Cyclops Biker etc. All gone due to Boff's stalking.


    This is not true, I hope!

    Generally, avoid anything that says 'Brewed in the UK under license...'. Especially from Northampton. Heineken is my suggestion.

    Nothing in a can
    Nothing with a stupid name
    Nothing American

    Ale wise, Spitfire or London Pride are good places to start
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    fancy lager is a safer bet as an ale drinker will drink lager

    Some ale drinkers might. I wouldn't touch lager with a barge pole. Fancy or otherwise, lager's grim.

    What he said. Lager is for poofs


    (not to be derogatory to our gay friends, this is to imply limp-wristed hormonally lacking males and not proper men whatever their preference for their partner is)
    Believe me I agree that real ale is vastly superior, that's not the point I was trying to make. We converted one of our colleagues to drinking real ale by refusing to buy him lager.

    I hate that Hobgoblin advert. Hobgoblin beer is piss.

    I went for a combination of Peroni, Czech Budweiser and Boddies (I would have flown out of there without my feet touching the ground if I had walked in with London Pride!). And several packets of chocolate biscuits, which was all the manager had asked for.

    Result = one very happy gang of mechanics! Thx all :-)
