Random Irritations

Charged 7 quid for a half pint of cider after golf yesterday

(the irritation is that even after knowing this I ordered a second one!)

It is the bane of any cider drinker. Perfect drink for warmer climates but can rarely be found and if you do find it, you are going to pay for it (except sandals Antigua which is the only all inclusive I have been to in the Carribbean with an ok bottled cider)
 
Where were you, central London?? I didn't know there were any courses there. :LOL:

Yeah I'm used to getting stiffed at certain courses compared to local beer prices (& some clubs only have cider because I've moaned/asked them to get it) but it's the most one of them has charged
'Posh' resort course so tourists will no doubt pay up.
I got a discount for the green fee though so it evens out I suppose
 
My wife bought me this for Christmas period (I don’t drink alcohol). She wants me to Email Guinness complaining about misleading and potentially dangerous packaging because without looking closely you can easy think you are buying a Guinness 0.0% 12 pack (as she did).

On a positive note I read that Guinness 0.0% on draught will be with us pretty soon ?

Truthfully I immediately read there was 10 normal cans and 2 free of the new alcohol-free version...

Only problem is it's clearly labelled 4.1% ..

However why on earth sell them together

Here have our second rate project for free because we can't sell it lol

It looks pretty open and honest to me. You’re getting 10 proper Guinness cans and 2 free “non alcoholic” cans for a try.

Please don’t mail them about that. They will think you’re a crank.

Without been disrespectful, it’s clear as day what it is, I think your wife should just pay a bit more attention, accidents happen though ?

I can see it. "10 + 2 FREE 0.0" is in a font 10 times the size of the "4.1%" font. Without glasses, on a bad eyesight day I might make the same mistake. But it would be my mistake rather than their deliberately misleading me.
I'm not surprised everyone is disagreeing with you though. I'm just surprised that nobody has suggested you were being covertly political.
