Its the peak, but also means that resale value is likely very limited.
Bearing in mind that as generous as our owners have been, their strategy, long term, is profit, this looks a signing we do for a modest sum or not at all. |

Was the context not violent protests involving white nationalists? Hate and racism v those who oppose it?
This dishonest re-writing of the narrative, Trump style, sums up the problem. |

Dnt he say it in relation to riots and the proud boys?
Opinions are not all equal. Trumps divisive rhetoric, hate and bigotry are demonstrable. |

Hope based in hate and bigotry is not a thing to simplybaccept or celebrate. Neither is mindless jingoism or people influenced by intentionally deceptive propaganda such as already sen in this thread. |

Simply misleading. Whether you know that or are just uncritically swallowing propaganda, your comments are disingenuous at best.
There was no 'affair'. It was not clandestine or inidelity. They dated. Over a decade later he supported her candidacy for state attorney. Openly, and in the compleyel normal way he supported other candidates over the years. Thats it. No opening doors, nothig shady, probably had little impact in any event. To use that s basis to say she slept her way to the top is extraordinary, dishonest and misogynistic. |

Huge sympathy for the driver. And we don't know what had been said to him or done to him before the recording. He may have things going on, need to be home etc. He may even have disciplinary stuff because of the state of the coach when he gets back, or because he hasnt insisted on seatbelts firmly enough etc etc. |

Water is definitely a big part of the issue. But certainly not the only one. The hard water in the major brewing centres does not suit lagered beer. Costs money to remove it. Why would they when the british public lap up Madri, thinking its something exotic?!!! |

I think its that level and below that doesn't need a license to sell either. Used to get shandy in the fizzy drinks aisle that was 0.5% and it was fine for kids to buy.
Annoyingly the supermarkets now insist on pretending even totally alcohol free stuff is illegal to sell without checks... |

Is everyone assuming Delap will play on the right? Seems the perfect man to rotate with Hirst. |

Its as good as alcohol free. You really couldnt get drunk on it. I think in much of Europe it qualifies as alcohol free.
I do think there is something to be said for the idea that low alcohol efforts tend to be a bit better than the completely alcohol free ones. |

Cuzcampo is brewed in manchester, at a reduced strength to the Spanish stuff. Peroni may actually be Italian. No idea whether italians actually drink the stuff. Its owned by Asahi, which is also made in Italy...
Madri is a completely british invention. It has replaced Carling in its owners business. All marketing. Some say it is the old carling recipe... [Post edited 21 Jul 13:11]

burtonsisatio, surely, is the ruining of beer by using the crappy water in places like burton and wolverhampton, which are great for ales perhaps, but ruin cold beer. Do you mean "de-burtonise"? If so, I guess noone does it because it costs more and the great british public either dont know or care about the difference. They keep buying fake foreign beer that all tastes much the same from the massive vats of swill in the midlands. |

Knocked out by Carlsberg in Wolverhampton.
It is time that trading standards got involved with the deliberately misleading marketing of many many beers in the UK. The hard water in our traditional large brewing areas, among other things, makes for a totally different beer to the originals. |

Lager is a process and covers such a huge range that you cannot beging to dimiss it all like that. Urquell. Many of the German beers covered by the german purity law. For a start.
Staropramen is, of course, English brewed slop unless you have it abroad... |

Even the stuff you say you like has deteriorated.
Carling reduced in strength and flavour (but continued to be advertised, immorally, but just legally as the original strength).
There is a rumour that Madri is the old Carling recipe.
All slop brewed in the same massive vats in England. Get some Budvar in. |
