Production process involves filling large tanks with pure spring water that ran down from the Irish mountains, then getting the Dublin sewage workers to throw their dirty socks into the tank to give the flavour and colour.  :)
Horrible stuff.  :P

Then serving it so cold that the "flavour" can't be detected. ;)

Old country pubs in Ireland don't serve it cold. They line pints of it along the bar and sell them as and when people want them.
Im not keen on it no matter what temperature its served at though.

One mans poison and all that :y

I drank it for a while when I was younger. It's certainly an acquired taste. I seem to remember a very long, hot summer which made me turn to lager tops. Never went back after that.

Nothing wrong with lager, unless you're an old fart who sits in the corner with a glass of mild saying it's all you can afford on your pension.  :P

Closest I've got to London in the last 35yrs is Heathrow or the M25 from the M11 round a couple of junctions to the Southend turn off.I have no desire to get any closer than that thank you very glad :y

I lived there from 1987 till 1997. I liked the busyness and the bustle. I like the modernness of all the new bits that were sprouting up, and the thought of being on the doorstep of the West End and Soho, etc.
But I didn't like the 'getting about'. I lived in Ilford and worked in Chelsea Harbour for a good while. It put three hours on my already long day. I met wife number three there and, after it became obvious that we were going to settle down together, we decided it wouldn't be in London.
But I left 22 years ago, so I guess it's changed since then.

TFL website says my Omega and Signum are not subject to ULEZ,both being petrol, my diesel 156 and Dispatch however are.

Currently the ULEZ is only the congestion charge area, but it will extend to everything withing the North and South circulars, which includes a huge part of the run run down sh!thole of East London, that'll cause the row

So my 01 plate incurs the charge but an 03 plate 3.2 does not, maybe buy an 03 exempt plate and change all the bits from my car onto an 03 plate, by the time the charge comes in my car will be a modern classic but they are not exempt, only historic cars, bummer!!!!

Checked my little Corsa C LPG Van, its subject to the Charge  >:( depite that fact that its Euro4, so it shouldn't be, Checked  another Reg in the Street thats earlier than mine (as far as I know all Corsa C are Euro4), thats coming back as Euro4 fine, no Charge.

Looked in to it a bit more, and because mine in on the LPG Register, its on the Data Base as Dual Fuel / Gas Bi Fuel, which knocks out the Euro 4 spec, so hows that fccking work then, thats what you get for converting to a Cleaner Greener Fuel and atempt to drive in London.  :(.
