Barley Wine
put a small bottle of this in a pint glass, top up with either Boddies or Holt's bitter and it ceases to become a Granny drink.
oblivion in a glass, oh yes.
In fact Robinson's a Stockport brewery used to do their own version called Old Tom, it had a picture of a cat on it not unlike the Coronation Street moggie from the title sequence. Any similarity with a long running soap ended the moment it hit your lips.
Any similarity with carbolic soap started soon after
again aficionados, used to let it down a bit with a chug of bitter afore passing out.
dont think anyone ever tried chucking paracetemols in it
still do Old Tom, near me,
Hare & Hounds in Mill Brow - 40mins walk from marple 3hr walk back, great for garden hopping some nice big house with ponds and everything!
but Old Tom, geeez!
i struggled, really struggled, not even half a pint i could get down me.
there was one kid there when were 16 showing off, he had two pints.
he spent the rest of the night stuck in a 0.5cm puddle crying his eyes out bcos it was too slippy to get out - we left him there - reportedly he spent the night trying to get out, crying.
saw him a few months after, he was cracking one out and we could see him through the window which was open, much delight in throwing snails at him too! should of seen his face.
as for antibiotics, had to go them
tongsilitus(however you spell it)
