Starting with the birth of the "High Peak Beer Company" - Stockport Market Hall Tuesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday 0900-1600 - over 100 bottled beers and ciders - also draught cider and perry. This comes to you courtesy of Corin - partner of Laura (who used to work in the Computer Department at "THAT place" - you know 'Simon bloody skint bloody bust bloody Carves') - good luck with this new venture !!! Here's the article from the August 2011 edition of "Opening Times" - the local CAMRA magazine ...
Next a cheap house beer in a local pub in Mossley - viz ..
(apologies for pic - it's off my phone !!) - a touch smoother than the normal "Unicorn Bitter" (and 40p per pint cheaper too !!!!)
Plugs over - unless you count this as a plug for the "Manchester Evening News" - or a plug for the UK/North West economy ... back last year (just before I finally "leapt off the dole") I posted summat on here about the MEN "Jobs Supplement" - in those days it was advertised as "12 Pages of Jobs" - and I "broke it down" somewhat (check out the original post if you can be *rsed). So - 14 months on - and I spot this billboard outside ye locale shoppe ...
hmmmmmmmmm .... especially when you consider the "12 pages" of 14 months ago actually equated to about 6 ... God only knows how the 5 pages break down ...
... and finally - I mentioned some "slightly less than green" tomatoes yesterday - here they are ...
I've now got the bug - look out next year - I'm going for a big of fruit & veg growing "BIG TIME" (our potato sacks arrived just too late this year !!).
... and football didn't get a mention once ...
