Today I achieved great Yorickshireness.
I love the Spanish beers here but sometimes our British shop has some beers I used to like in UK.

Looked on website last night and they had 24 x 500ml cans of Grolsch for 12.50 Euros. Bargaino.

I was passing today so popped in for Shredded Wheat and lo and behold, piles and piles of Grolsch.
The Yorkshireness kicked in and 3 cases went in the trolley.

Nervously I waited at the checkout in case the price was wrong

Indeed it was . It came up at 10€

500 ml cans here are all over a Euro, so 72 for 30€ made me giggle.

Hope the folk at next party like Grolsch

By 'ell it's nice.
Chippy mate's had a hard day building the bar and we've just cracked a couple open. Yummy

It's not proper Grolsch unless its out of a glass bottle with a sprung re-sealable cap

Don't forget Drop The Boy playing in the background.

Never been a great fan of Grolsch but the past two weekends my fridge has been getting filled with San Miguel as ASDA has been selling the Gluten free version However, Tennents have brought out a new Export what is just as nice and buying it direct makes it around £1 a bottle.

They were advertised but couldn't see any.

I don't want to be the turd in the punchbowl* but with all of these be wary of 'brewed under licence' versions. Those Grolsch cans looked very iffy for example.






* Not true at all. I love it!

I really must try GF beers as regular beer gives me terrible guts the next day. I suspect it's the gluten, but it would be nice to know !

7 nights cottage holibob on the coast (praa sands) for less than 500 quid.

Bit of isolation and get to miss all the Jubilee guff, win win

Every chance yes as i dont get that no more but then i am 100% gluten free. TBF the beers are not bad but not many pubs sell it and if they do it will be Peroni or the likes. Tesco sell Daura Damm what is nice and Morrisons for Speckled Hen. If you want to drink and not have the big hangover try Skinny Brands lager or Tennents Light as they are low on sugar and around 3.5%

Nice little motah, guv.

2011 plate but only done 33k. Fresh from the land of the rising sun.

I love how you replaced the weird Japanese import car with a conventional European car - imported from Japan

One out, one in.

Wasn't the issue with the old one getting insurance for a grey import though?

Does it have a KPH speedo and Kanji characters everywhere? The fuse box on Mrs D's grey import MX5/Eunos Roadster was a total mystery
