    memo to self

    always respond to posts with either "ok glad i could help"
    or if you feel my answer has helped "please click the appreciated thread thingy"
    or maybe both
    then i can increase rep points
    and /or forum posts

    Re: memo to self

    What's prompted this?

    Do you need to increase your rep points or post count?

    Or are you not comfortable with offering guidance to the OP to mark their thread solved and/or common courtesy in thanking someone. Ah, forgot, you're a Londoner

    Greater London Authority puts the population of London metropolitan region at 21 million.
    Greater Manchester is a metropolitan county in North West England, with a population of 2.7 million

    Re: memo to self

    Nook's Yard Perry
    “Cheshire Perry”
    Available in 500ml bottles only
    Alc 6.3% vol (typical)

    As far as we know, the only perry made in Cheshire from local pears.

    This is a traditional perry, so don’t expect it to taste like commercially produced, sweetened, fizzy “pear ciders”. Its overall flavour is more akin to traditional ciders with soft tannins and lower acidity. While most of the sugars have fermented to alcohol, pears contain traces of non-fermentable sugars. These give the perry a medium level of sweetness, with the lack of acidity often highlighting this.

    As with most traditional perries, this one's slightly cloudy - but then it usually is in Cheshire!
    well there's a plus for them up north but then again

    then again i had some of this,well more than some at the Battersea beer festival
    Double Vision Impeared Vision Perry

    Type Perry
    ABV 7.4% made in kent

    @swoop, no "like" button please, the whole bloody world is starting to look like facebook

    Oooops... apologies for the language..

    All... A good water cooler conversation indeed, a bit of humour and a bit of "P***" taking in the very best of traditions we all enjoy.

    And... @martin.... 10 pints of Guinness is at the very outside limits of my capacity... how could you also then put away 4 shots of anything????? (although I dimly remember one night nearly 40 years ago when after multiple pints of Fosters [yuk now] I put away a challenger with a couple of Pernod shots so maybe we are Bro's)

    The funny thing is, with Guiness I can only get to around 4 pints.

    With Scotch.....I can get to around 4 pints.

    What is it with the Poms and Yanks, always going on about the North vs South?

    Maybe everybody in both those regions should just move West and East, so that I can choose to relocate to either North or South, in any of those Countries.

    Wow, thanks xladept, wanna come along, away from the North or South?

    @ FDibbins,

    Hi Ford,

    Really nice to hear from you again as well!

    Correction, I had to buy(Bribe) the damn RWC with those wobbly wheels.

    Yeah, I agree. Wouldn't want to move North, but then again, going South ends pretty quick at the ocean, and without a boat, what then? Guess that is why you opted your way out of this place by Plane. Don't blame you at all!

    Take care, and please do stay in touch.

    @ Winnon, at least it's not a taxi with vice-grips in place ** a steering wheel (and yes, I have actually seen that, in a taxi doing 80 kph!!!)

    If you go just a bit south, you could end up in PE - my old stamping grounds
