i don't normally like beer/lager (well, apart from shandy) but since pregnant have had real jealous streaks when hubbie has had lagers = have ended up buying non-alcoholic becks/cobra.


Think I got so fed up of drinking soft drinks and so a "savoury" fizzy drink is bliss!

Re Alcohol - My Dad gave Mum a pint of Guiness every day during her pregnancy with me (she was 40 years old at the time too)....it is supposed to be very good for you, or so they believed back in 1968/9....anyway I seem to have survived it unscathed.....

So true about the joy of a savoury drink.


Now, how much iron is really in Guinness? Can I get away with this as a genuine treatment for my anaemia? A daily half (or even 1/4 pint) would I am sure make me a better person / mother / citizen....

My sisters mother in law had a guiness every day for years up to her death at 90+.I had Guiness too in my pregnancy in the 80's plus the oranges (not at the same time!)and I had an abundance of milk.


Edted to say ...it didn't help with my spelling though!

When I have sips of Mr Smiler's beer I just want to down the can/pint!


Alcohol-free Cobra is MINGING! Ta for the tips about the other fake booze that is available, hoping the Becks is better.


M&S do 4-pack bottles of some kind of non-alcoholic soft drink made with hops - the citrus-flavoured one is tasty, and with a wedge of lime in the bottle can (almost) pretend it is Corona!

There's always the utterly rank 'Caliber'. I am going to try these interesting M&S things....


Oh to booze it up again. Did anyone read the article (in some paper about 6 months ago) saying that actually drinking while breastfeeding was potentially more dangerous than while pregnant - something to do with the fact that alcohol is metabolised in the liver and by the time it enters the bloodstream (and therefore can get cross to the placenta) it's not very potent.


Ring a bell? I would love to re-read or get someone else's perspective on it.


The article, more broadly, was about how if you look into it the advice about what you can't do while pregnant (soft cheeses, alcohol, toxoplasmosis) are grossly over-dramatised.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
