Beer?

[Daddy Pig]

Wasn't there a thread once about the morality of taking advantage of a pricing mistake made by, iirc, Halfords? It got quite heated I think.

I see Tescos like an American company... pretty much out to make a buck out of anyone they can, so here's taking something back

It revolved around the legal position of whether the retailer has to honour the mistake. It doesn't but that didn't stop a few rattles being thrown out

They can withdraw up to the point of sale however once it has been delivered and payment taken it's tough luck on the retailer.

If they come round for it just neck the whole lot really quickly.

Well, at least I have 12 for £2.20 and I like you say they can be hidden pretty quickly

Apparently it's a secret recipe and was originally stored for 21 years before being drunk (two pints down in one) in a strange initiation ceremony involving men eating radishes and standing on one leg. Until in the 1870s the lure of free beer was too much and the young men of Kendal started trashing the place.

It's a decent example of a strong(ish - only 5.5%) sweet slightly spicy beer. I'd guess the original recipe was brewed much stronger, and it could do with more alcohol. It's now brewed over 50 miles away on the other side of the Pennines and is available in Waitrose, as well as at Levens Hall (recommended - a stately home that feels lived-in and homely, despite some of the best panelling and leather wall-hangings you'll ever see.)

Well, back to the beer drinking....

Not bad for 18p. Thin head with a mellow taste and slightly bitter finish. Hides the 9.5% abv well.

Proper beer in every way, including cappage and neckage; I shall ensure the rutting goats are attached on pouring
