Two 15 can crates for 12 quid.
So is this the only bonus coming from the new VAT cut? (Tescos start from Today apparently, getting in the spirit of it..) I cant see retailers changing the shelf prices at all tbh.
All mockery aside, 12 quid for 30 semi decent beers isnt too bad. Apparently they do one of the weak pissy things the same deal too.. La... Larrr.. ah yes.. Lager. Although why people buy that I'll never understand. Horrid shite.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Extra Smooth is an alright drink!! Considering it's out of a can, I think of many worse.

Yeah - about all it's got going for it is that it's not a Lager, not Tetleys, not Boddingtons, or Worthington or similar.
The thought of 30 cans of it to get through ......
Now let's just consider the forum virtual bar and all the drinks that have been ordered ..... and the many times that someone has said "ooooh, I'd love a John Smiths" ........
Thanks for posting though Kwackerz - I don't want to discourage you should there be a future offer on something worth drinking

That price for lager makes it pretty good value shampoo.

I bought the beer in order to celebrate my most local team Histon Utd's win over Leeds should it have happened.... which it did.

Yeah ..... John Smiths - the squadies champagne
.... maybe bought to drink as penance if you lost but surely something better for a win!
Perhaps you could pass a few cans to Aladinsaneuk to drown his sorrows

Any beer out of a can is horrid! Bottles aren't much better.
Which is why I drink wine........ Hic!

there's recently been a deal at Lisl for pint bottles of half decent real ale at £1 per bottle - still ongoing last time I went in.

Sounds like good stuff ...... given the way you're slurring your store names

stop buying cheap beer and go to the pub.
