Hell of a way for HonaloochieB to start the weekend - seeing the thread title, perhaps envisaging advance word of a special offer, or merely a hymn of praise to which he can add a verse or two.


And then the one-two to the guts of Jeremy's first post. Cruel, Jeremy.

This is pretty much what I am getting at. I will accept that in bottles it's not bad (but not that special)... but on tap, it really just tastes like everything else. And is often the most expensive beer, sometimes even nudging the ?4 mark. Why?

Paid ?4.40 in Liquorish for a pint a couple of weeks ago. Could not quite believe that. First time I have breached the ?4 mark.

How well you know me Ted. And yes my heart leapt in my bosom at the thought there might be some sort of promotion/giveaway of the good stuff.

Bottled Peroni has a nice dry taste to it that goes well with food or just plain old getting hog-whimpering-sh!t-faced.

The draught is only any good in the big old Peroni glass, in any other it's just lager-lager-lager.

As for the price, fine by me, keeps the riff-raff out.

Think that's one for the drawing room Mockers.


I agree though, with bottles you can differentiate taste a bit, whether you get a good lager or not is as much to do with how they look after their pipes/add water/give you a nice glass as much as anything.


Any draught pint that is not flat or watery is always a relief to me. As long as it is strong enough to make me really funny, make the girls look nice and eventually make me fall over, thats good enough for me.

Yes Keef Heineken shut down their UK brewery so now we get the imported 5% version from Amsterdam


Tap, cans, bottles do tend to always taste different per lager - not sure the exact reasons but sure we have experts on the matter from the EDF drinks. Rule of thumb is only drink lager that is imported.


If you want for example the real Stella it seems you can usually acquire it in dodgy off licences up and down the country (although they sometimes place the UK versions at front). Always look on the can, whether it Stella, Kronenberg to ensure it isn't stamped 'Brewed in Burton-on-Trent' !

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      57% of those who actually lived in the consultation area I believe. Around 3,000. Presumably 2,000 of whom are the ‘supporters of One Dulwich (but not members of One Dulwich? So how does one ‘join’?) It seems fairly clear that Southwark could have done more first time round as they did open the junction back up to emergency services. I’m not sure why this suggests someone shawdowy is ‘pulling their strings’ though as you suggest. You say read up on it - why not share the evidence that emergency services were knocking on the council’s door for months and months?  You’ve just posted a claim the the LFB haven’t been consulted this time round, yet their spokesman says  “Regarding the FOI, the local authority did consult the Brigade. However, they didn’t initially contact the specific Southwark team, who responded on the FOI saying they hadn’t been contacted.” I have answered all your questions (where they are actual questions). You ducked and deflected my two for several pages, before awkwardly distancing yourself from the claims made in the missive you shared 😳 A question that says “do you agree with a design that does nothing to stop persistent number plate covering offenders” is what’s called a loaded question. Whether one say yes or no it accepts the premise. It’s the classic ‘have you stopped beating your wife” construction, and it’s not very subtle. 🙄

      We are actually referred to as "Supporters"...2,100 of us across Dulwich...read and weep! 😉   https://www.onedulwich.uk/supporters   Got it, the one where 64% of respondents in the consultation area said they wanted the measures "returned to their original state". Is that the one you claim had a yes/no response question?   Well I suggest you read up on it as it is an important part of the story of utter mismangement by the councils and this is why so many of us can't work out who is pulling the council's strings on this one because surely you can agree that if the emergency services were knocking on your door for months and months telling you the blocks in the roads were delayihg response times and putting lives at risk you'd do something about it? Pretty negligent not to do so don't you think - if I was a councillor it would not sit well with me?   Careful it could be a Mrs, Miss or Mx One.....   Of course you don't that's because you have strong opinions but hate being asked for detail to.back-up those opinions (especially when it doesn't serve their narrative) and exposes the flaws in your arguments! 😉  As so many of the pro-LTN lobby find to their cost the devil is always in the detail.....
