A pint in a smaller bottle would not be a pint?

exactly

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 15:26, Reply)

Bit less than a pint, for a fiver. Good marketing.

Alright.
No immediate highs or lows spring to mind, just maintaining an even keel of 'alright'

Alt: I bought the double vinyl of Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus for five pounds on amazon, but this was more of a Monty Boyce listing than a consistent 'best thing £5 will get you' type thing.
I haven't really answered your question here, but I felt it needed sharing.

Nice purchase, it's on my list.

Good point.
Morrisons were doing three bottles of Oakham Citra for a fiver, which is an absolute bargain for a decent beer.
Then some pricks awarded it silver in this year's Champion Beer of Britain awards and now there are none on the shelves.

Life's been pretty good to me over the last few months, not in too much bad-health, started Yoga, found some bottles of HP Guinness Sauce, gotten chummy with an old school mate and tend to go out 3-4 times a week now.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 16:29, Reply)

There has probably been a shortage of that HP sauce because the 'real ale' drinkers
thought it was some special artisan brew.
