Conveniently , my place is almost smack in the middle between them,     might have to to this more often !

Thanks chaps , good to see you both.....

Not very - Derriford in Plymouth is better, and you get a helicopter ride thrown in. (relative)

I'm sure I've mentioned this before on here but - you gotta try Thatchers "KATY" cider. Very More-ish and delightfully tasty. Now available at Tesco and ASDA .

£1.55 for 500ml    and it's 7.4%   -So  You don't need many ;D ;D

Get SWMBO to pick you up a couple when she does the shopping ;D ;D ;D ;D

It was indeed an enjoyable evening. The highlight has to be Jaime playing frisbee with his Blackberry phone :)

Problem I have with cider is that once I start, I have a problem stopping!  ::)

Like some nice bottled ciders such as Katy, Old Rosie, Magners, various Pear ciders etc. Actually, like most ciders except sweet ones like woodpecker etc. [smiley=beer.gif]

Does 5 pints of cider count as 5 portions towards daily fruit & veg intake? ;)

Haven't seriously touched cider since me and a mate brewed some when we were about 17 using lessons from the "more sugar, more alcohol" school of home brewing. It wasn't a total success. We poured it away in his back garden and his dog found it. Dog was later spotted trying to walk when 2 out of 4 legs were no longer working.

Speaking as a self confessed Cider lover of more years than I like to remember (thirty years or more ;)) I love the stuff! My usual tipple is Strongbow (don't knock it-very refreshing on a hot day), but Bulmers Original and Gaymers Old English is good. Don't touch Dry Blackthorn, headache tackle ;D Scrumpy Jack is yummy.

The thing that most people forget is that cider is strong. Strongbow is 5.3% and that's not the strongest by a long shot :o Treat it with the respect it deserves!!! Never buy cider in cans, it taints the taste, always buy in bottles or better still draught :y One of my favourites down in the West Country is Addlestones Cloudy. It leaves a sludge in the bottom with the odd shopping trolley, bicycle wheel etc but is good stuff ;D

Long live cider :y

PS Everybody's heard the stories of the odd rat in the cider vat. Yeah, well it's all true 8-)
