Not sure, but it sure smells and tastes chemical, like there's industrial detergent in it.
Probably cos it's made round London, the imported Belgian stuff doesn't have the nasty chemical aftertaste and is pretty good stuff as a result (but more expensive).

mine is pretty tragic really
quite often I go weeks without drinking anything at all, and very seldom drink more than 2 nights a week anyway. i'd say on average 0-5, rising to about 10 at a push on occasions.
next weekend in Bristol may increase this month somewhat.

Well, first of all, I was always planning on getting the engine worked on.
Plans were brought forward when a piston ring went. Instead of simply getting it repaired or a straight replacement, I went full bore.
The engine's been bored out, cammed, a flowed head put on, a specially designed manifold installed and it'll be tuned and tweaked once it's run in. It'll be putting out about 190bhp per ton, at a conservative estimate.

The human body is wonderful instrument.
When I was a broker, we all drank Stella or Kronenbourg. Would do 4 at lunch and 4 in the evening before either going home or out. All additional drinking was on top of that so people were easy doing 140+ a week. It adds up really quickly, Stella is 3 units a pint!

You really have to go at it to kill the thing. It's like Wolverine, otherwise.
