I know what it is, the fact that it has a name and an intended purpose doesn't make it any less annoying. Personally I find it harder to read, but that may be partly because it's obscured by red mist.Quote:

Guaranteed one minute wait for chips every time if you come to me 😀Quote:

I don't get the hate for Madri at least everyone now knows its English. Some people that rip it say they prefer Peroni, Moretti, Stella, San Miguel, Asahi, Corona ect but they are all UK brewed too. It's rare to get a mainstream lager on tap in the pub that's imported nowadays, you'll get it at home if you've perfect draft ect, they are night and day to the UK versions. When it comes down to it though it's just a pint, drink what you enjoy SLAINTEQuote:

The bit in bold is the only part that concerns me. I couldn't care less where it's brewed or how it's advertised...it's just a rubbish pint.Quote:

Your right just checked your right, Peroni and tennents the only 2 of the top 10 selling lagers in the uk not brewed in England. Carling, Peroni, Fosters, Birra Moretti , Coors, Stella Artois , Carlsberg , San Miguel ,Amstel and TennentsQuote:

Not sure it was from a BBC article. Hopefully the factory closes down wherever it is, UK version a brutal drinkQuote:

I didn't realise San Miguel was Philippino, always assumed Spain from getting it there on holiday all these years

Stopped brewing 98 mate and demolished 2001, big Asda in its place nowQuote:

That connection resulted in the name being used by a company in Spain in the 50’s to brew their own beer under the same name.
The name was the same but the beers were different. Thus the San Miguel in Spain is indeed Spanish.

One of them also likes to go for a nap on the pavement during the day

I've not managed to get a good look at what type of trolley it is to see where they've nicked it from. The handle is red, so I'm guessing maybe Iceland. Maybe they thought when you put a pound in to release the trolley that you got to keep it. :greengrin
I'll ask them for some special meat :greengrinQuote:
