Fun fact: In the UK the term 'Public School' refers to an elite 'Private School'. Eton and Harrow are Public Schools. The British term for what Americans call 'Public Schools' is 'State Schools'. Confusing, innit? :)

Most 'Public Schools' in the UK now prefer to call themselves 'Independent Schools'.

None of this has anything to do with alcoholism, but I hope it's of interest anyway....

I would be a bit scared to have that. I'm not into spirits.

I black out with spirits. My bf got me a JD and Coke the other week and I can't remember getting home it was awful. I'm too much of a control freak for that.

I'm drinking a bottle of Aldi's Coffee Stout. It's one of the better offerings from their rather uninspiring range of beers.

Nope. The Central Manchester one has a self-service area, as you're probably aware. What about your local one?

Yeah. I had the shock of my life this morning when I went to queue up at my usual checkout and it had been replaced by 6 self service machines.

"It's a slippery slope" I said

Is your stout nice?
