LGS's Christmas Booze
The fellow stacking the shelves in Sainsbury this morning must have wondered what I was doing as I started taking photos of the booze on the shelves.

As soon as I saw the XXXX packaging I immediately thought of LGS

Perhaps you need more time away from the Forums, if LGS is always lurking close to the surface of your consciousness?

Re: LGS's Christmas Booze
It's just word association as no-one else uses the word poncey like LGS does

Re: LGS's Christmas Booze
£9.98 a case!

No way would LGS pay that when you can get Spar Lager for half the price!

Exactly!! Have you seen the mark up on that price? 40% I could accept but I am sure that is nearer 100% and for what? Named beer that you can get a lot cheaper.

Bah Humbug!!

Re: LGS's Christmas Booze
Must say I do feel honoured once again that .A second thread started with my abbreviated name in the title.I am beginning to wonder what i have done to deserve such an accolade
as to the subject matter, the irony is that I am quite poncey about beer, generally prefering proper traditional ale. If I am to drink lager it has to be one of those special bottled ones from Germany like Holsten Pils.There is no way on earth I would drink Fosters or XXXX ( yeuk!)
it has been suggested to me that I should use that packaging as my avatar.Not a bad idea I thought.How would I go about doing that?It would nee d to be cropped first

Re: LGS's Christmas Booze
LGS let me guess - you belong to CAMRA and drink in the Evening Star in Surrey Street ?
