    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.

    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.
