Yeh, think I do mean keg, thanks.AddicksAddict said:
I think you mean keg rather than draught. There was lots of good draught in the 1970s - Youngs, Fullers, Everards, Home Ales, Marstons, Eldridge Pope down on the south coast., and many, many more. Camra helped to stop the rot but the good stuff was still out there.Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

Watneys Red Barrel, Whitbread Trophy, Worthington 'E'.
You name it, the standard was appalling.
I recall back in the day the big brewers owned most of the pubs and cornered the market with their swill.

You can still get Vesta Chow MeinHal1x said:I was surprised to find that you can no longer buy Shield soap, my armpits need this to get rid of my hideous funk. Over the years some of my favourite groceries have disappeared such as Start breakfast cereal and Vesta Chow Mein (fair enough it was horrible) has anyone else suffered from discontinuation of favoured requisites, or is it just a sign of my old age.
