East Stand 1901 Club - where is the area which was set aside for the supporters bar?

And can you imagine the scenes when someone is tanked up on lager, desperate for more, and stuck behind a bearded type who is going through that lengthy ritual of 'examining' his pint before agreeing to purchase it? There'll only be one outcome and it will involve someone with a beard and sandles sparko on their back.

Does Lord Bracknell only wear sandals during the summer ?

Threads like these are why I absolutly LOVE nsc! A simple normal thread like any other (which is the bit trying to quess which) can over generally 3-5 pages min turn from that simple start to a HUGE MASSIVE F'IN BRILLIANT .... BINFEST!!!

Well Done everybody!!

Who said anything about 35 per cent of women?

Agreed. That's ridiculous to suggest that 35% of women drink real ale. Haha! 35% what kind of fool would believe that?

It's 26% apparently.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

What is your problem?
Why can't people have some choice?
I enjoy real ale, German beer, wine and whisky. I don't like mass-produced Brit lagers brewed under licence like Fosters. But if that's what you want go for it, fella!
If you want to pick a scrap with bearded sandal-wearing Albion fans, just keep away from Inigo.

I do not have a problem. I was just wondering what could happen in the 15 minute half-time rush. It could get a bit nasty.

But I do find the stat about women ale drinkers a bit fanciful.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Tubthumper -
SANDALS?
DMs actually.

Beard?

There's a first: The words 'woman', 'ale drinker' and 'fanciful' in the same sentence.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

So do all female real ale drinkers always sport a downstairs beard ?

To quote some literary Irishman: It only takes one Englishman to order a drink for another Englishman to despise him.

I can visualise it as we wait to catch a train back from Falmer, the talk won't be about the match but about the pitched battle between the sleek, brash 30 something lager louts and the bearded, sandal-wearing, folksong-intoning real ale drinkers with their hairy women in support.

Sorry having read this back I can see that what I wrote was unclear. I meant that 26 per cent of those who identified their preference to be cask ale were ladies. I accept it reads here at 26 per cent of all women. It shouldn't have and that was my error.

paraphrase more like. Wasn't it about opening mouths and referring to accents?

I like that though. As a 41yr old to be referred to as a sleek 30-something. Still got it. I never lost it.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Now lets be honest here BoF, you dont actually hang around with women at all now do you ?

Yeah, you got me.

I used to drink lager myself, Fosters mostly (in the days of those treble size Fosters cans) and gave it up in the mid 80s because I suddenly realised it tasted like carbonated hamster urine with an aftertaste like iron filings and after eight pints I woke up the next morning feeling as though an elephant had stamped on my head. But that's just me - each to their own and let us all raise our glasses high and drink to a bloody good team and a great future for the Albion!

Nope, there's hundreds of you real ale bores. I've met quite a few of them.

Proud to be one of the many hundreds of bores who like something a bit different, unlike the many thousands of lager lemmings!

Nothing wrong with being different, just wish that the real ale types weren't so snobby about it, that's all.

I know what you mean, some real ale drinkers are so into it that anything but drinking real is seen as some form of heresy.

For me if people want to drink unimaginative crap like Carling and Fosters then that's their choice. I won't go on about it, it's just that they are missing out on tasting some really nice and different alcoholic beverages and this includes independently brewed lagers too.

Apart from a week on stage, performing as The Blind Beggar / Good King Richard in Babes in the Wood at the Lewes Con Club, I have NEVER worn sandals since I was 10 years old.

If 36% of the population are real ale drinkers then isn't it likely that you're part of the biggest group of drinkers, once...

- Lager
- Cider
- Non-real ale
- Stout
- Wine
- Spirit (and mixer)
- Tee-totallers
- etc etc

...all get their vote to divide up the remaining 64%?

Doesn't sound like you are particularly different at all.

From the Telegraph:

'According to the Beer and Pub Association, ale's share of the overall beer market last year crept up from 20.4 per cent to 20.6 per cent the year before. Lager still predominates, but its share slipped a fraction from 74.5 to 74.3 per cent. '
