Is that near Goldbergs?

Goldberg's was great at xmas time. You could go stare at the toys your parents could not afford. Like a Johnny 7 gun with realistic rockets. Those were the days eh ?

Arnotts is crap - you should try Goldbergs or Mr. Beaujangles - both got a top top range of flares.

Goldberg's had an open air rooftop restaurant with a parrot in a cage. It was the first time I had ever seen a live parrot.

As opposed to David Attenborough on the telly.

More fascinating is the fact that biscuits go soft when they're left exposed to the air, whereas cakes go hard.

Jaffa cakes go hard.

I remember kestrel lager when I was just starting drinking. I wonder what ever happened to that? It was cheap rubbish but i liked it for some unknown reason!

Here is a short history (and a bit ropey). Back in the 70s S&N did not make larger and instead had a deal with Guinness to sell Harp Lager in their pubs. Someone at S&N decided that they wanted to compete with Tennent's and bring out their own lager and hence Kestrel appeared. It was piss and sales were poor so it eventually became McEwen's Lager. Can you still get McEwen's Lager? I am a 80'- man myself.

Here's another bit. Courage used to sell Harp too but decided to bring out their own lager. So they asked the ad agency I worked for at the time to invent one: country of origin, name, label, the lot. Research suggested Germany would be a good place for it to come from so I invented the name Hofmeister by sticking two bits of German together. It was actually brewed to the same recipe as Harp as that's the taste people liked!

It has just been relaunched as a premium lager by tennents I think.

This might not be true, but it could be.

Noting that sales of Kestrel, in its green can were "mixed" in the West of Scotland, Tennents brought out Charger lager, to meet the gap in the market. Was it purely coincidental that the blue can featured a man on a white horse?

It probably depends on which part of Scotland you grew up in.

S&N Brought out McEwans Lager first to have a lager that would provide competition to Tennents! Kestrel Lager was a lower alcohol lager and was based on German Pilsner Lager and was brought out later than MCL. S&N bought over Courage Breweries and inherited Fosters as a result.

My memory is fuddled. It's a while ago and I am not a lager drinker.

I'm sure mcewans only do the export stuff in can these days(which i like surprisingly) and their premium stuff in the pint bottles which I'm sure is 7.2% mind blowing stuff if i remember. Other than that it's mostly stuff on Tap they do these days.
