I'm talking about real bitters like Marston's pedigree and Theakstons best bitter (not that chewy old peculiar). Tetleys Bitter in Scarborough was as smooth as silk....:cry_smile:I'm making myself homesick.

OK lets stop that... Rickards Red is a nice beer and moosehead pretty ok too.:blink: nope didnt work. oh well just have to start up a beer import export business I guess.

Tell you OH I am with him on John Smiths. I have many happy memories of drinking John Smiths at pubs in Thirsk market place on race day's

Yes you are right about import and export of alcohol (especially in NB). NB Liquor do source some UK beers and then proceed to store their bottles of Newqie Brown and Bitters in very cold fridges .... subsequently no flavour until you allow them to settled down. I use a cool room we have in the basement to store beer. I am all for lobbying a local brewery to start producing something like Yorkshire bitter (I also fondly remember Mansfield Bitter :p)

Hi Kate

How are things going with you? Any news on the house selling front?

I've not been on-line for the past few weeks as we had visitors over Christmas and the New Year - only just recovered:)

Have a double vodka on me - I'd join you but it's a bit early.

Cheers:beer::beer:

We did the same, just in case, coz our first buyer pulled out the morning they should have signed, so we waited til the Wednesday before completion on the Friday to tell everyone. Trouble with that is you have to move FAST! Two days to pack and clear out! :o

Good luck to you and Alberta!

I'll have a drink with you, :beer: but I'll save it til tonight if thats ok; its only lunch time here and I've got kids to take care of! :ohmy:
