I still think it's a decent beer but not as full bodied as was. At home I like canned pride - stronger @4.7% than the bottles and draught and not as fizzy as the bottle. On a similar note, Lidl are opening a pub in one of their stores in Ireland. “We are you off to darling?” “Just shopping dear”
Dunno what old Noel Coward would've thought. Seriously, I think over the years Pride has changed a few times but I still quite like it. I usually have HSB in a Fullers pub if they have it. Some pubs serve Pride too cold which kills it for me.
Change to alcohol duty starts in 2 days, stronger wines go up by about a quid. So head off to the shop for a few bottles of your favourite vino collapso.
Our late queen called the royal family “The Firm” I thought she'd made that up but… In Victorian times Gilbert & Sullivan were the first satirists, lampooning everyone - navy, army, government etc. They didn't like the 1855 Limited Liability laws so wrote Utopia Ltd and mocked these laws. One one line is, limited liability ? Whatever next, the royal family ltd ? “ King George liked it, so it became the norm. Dunno if King Charles will use it.
