8 cans of linden village and a box of amber leaf please

Thatnastyboy

For me, this is my new version of the pre-recession:

"8 cans of bulmers and 20 benson please"

This is how the pinch has affected one of my spending habits, so

Like me, do you still enjoy the finer things in life, but without the fancy brand names?

What have you lot changed, but still do the same (if you get me)



Linden village is nicer than bulmers too.

El Weirdo

Are Linden Village and Amber Leaf not brand names?

"I'll just have the handjob today please Mary"
"What about your usual 'sneaky finger' Mr Fallon?"
"Sorry Mary, there's a recession on, I just can't afford it.....btw can you put the baby oil on the tab til I get paid next Thursday?"
"Certainly not, it's cash in hand for gash in hand round here these days, money upfront for all transactions, we don't do credit!"

I'm reminded of that old adage; a hand in the bird is worth two in the bush.

I'm very lucky, I can still afford what I always could....except petrol. Petrol is worth more than heroin soaked in champagne stuffed in a hooker.

Never actually tried it; was gonna get it once out of curiosity before realising it has quite a low alcohol content. Decided it wasn't worth my while.

Now Druids, on the other hands, is the cider of kings. (Well, kings suffering due to the recession anyway...) 6% alcoholy goodness for hobo-friendly prices....what's not to like?

Linden is made by Bulmers,and for all the shit apples they put in Bulmers,the ones the put in Linden are worse.

But i grew up on flagons of cider so i cant really be saying much

With a name like nasty boy, you sure are drinking a nasty girl drink.
The only cider for blokes is Dickens!

Linden comes in 6% too comes in silvery cans. The 4.5% is in yellow cans, both lovely though! Do try it, you wont regret it,

Druids is a madmans drink, I stopped drinking it a while back, makes me a proper asshole, and it gives me 2 day hangovers.

Bud is awful, tried it once and never again. Is it full of petrol, or formaldehyde, or donkey spúnk or something?

Ah I've only ever seen the yellow ones. Must keep an eye out for these silver ones so...

Yes, but you grow to love all that after a while! :pac:

That's the one that comes in two litre plastic bottles, yeah? I'm afraid that's just a bit too classy and fancy for me, now....

Mr Benevolent

I make my own cider. 5L is two weeks into a 4 week brew cycle. 9.3% too.

**Vai**

Pre recession it was out to the pub for copious pints of Carlsberg. Nowadays its a 6 pack of Prazsky (beautiful yet cheap Czech beer) and maybe head out for 1 close to closing.

Excelsior €3.06 for 4 cans in lidl, rough stuff but desperate times require desperate measures..

Edit: Hint I find if you put them in the freezer 45 mins before you want them they get that cold
it kills the rough taste..

Ah Linden Village... brings me back to my student days. Cider was and still is my pint of choice. Used to drink some awful shite back then. There was one cider i used to drink that was spelt Cyder made in somerset or somewhere like that in England

I now only drink large bottles of Bulmers with ice. Yes,there is no recession round here.

ItsAWindUp

All cider is piss and I don't smoke, so, in summary, you are talking absolute balderdash.

cosmicfart

Hate cider Stonehouse champagne cider Bavaria Green Black URGH knacker drinking days are well behind me recession or no

Now I get Franziskaner instead of Paulaner or Erdinger.

And Aldi salt and vinegar sticks instead of Tayto chipsticks.

What a crazy life I lead.

I don't care what anyone says. Dutch Gold is actually a better tasting and better made beer than Coors, Budweiser, Miller and Carlsberg.
