i have been drinking only cheap foreign lager from lidl/aldi recently.

we now have minimum pricing for alcohol in bonny Scotland, meaning no more cheap booze deals in supermarkets
What means "cheap" ? Do you have an example.
For example ALDI: 0.5 l Karlskrone Pilsener is 0.29 Euros (0.26 pence). 6 x 0.5 Karlskrone Pilsener is 1.79 Euros (1.58 GBP).
Is it much more expensive in Scotland, ? Never been to ALDI there.

Those prices are comparable to what we can get around here if we buy the cheap stuff.

cheap, is lower priced, so rather than buying major brands (tennents/bud/miller/coors etc..) i've been buying the cheaper stuff(10 x 250ml, £5(€5.66)) it's not too bad if it's nice and chilled.

your Karlskrone 0.5L would probably be £1 per can here, as minimum pricing is 50p/unit of alcohol

off to Tomintoul this weekend for the motorcycle gathering, was going to just stock up on cheap beer for the weekend, but getting a tax rebate, so think i'll splash on some decent beer

I have some of this at the house this week too. At least it doesn't taste like grapefruit. I'm getting sick of grapefruit tasting beers.

The cats both bolted between my feet from opposite directions, like kamikazes. I stumble/jumped to keep from squishing them and ended up ramming my bare foot full on into the door jam. :roflmao: I've had worse. Remember, I broke a rib the last time I played tackle football with you and the gang out in the back yard.

I just talked to someone here in the USA who said they would "Run the wickets" on this project. I had to google it to understand what he meant :laugh:
