Quote: Bully_Boxer "Would rather choose from a selection of bottled beer than drink Tetleys to be honest.'"
As I once said to the landlord in my local when he said he was thinking of getting Tetley's in as a guest, "If Tetley's pumped beer directly to my house and I got it free from a tap in the kitchen, I'd still prefer to come to the pub and buy something decent". Strangely, (or maybe not so strangely) after doing a vox pop amongst the regulars he didn't bother with the Tetleys.
Even funnier, a few years later the darts team wanted to run the team in the Tetley's handpump league, not because they wanted the beer but because (apparently) it was a good darts league. Of course, it meant the gaffer had to have it on the bar on darts night, which he did, but trouble was none of my local team's players were actually drinking the stuff and to a large extent neither did the visiting team, so it was hanging round and "cluttering up a pump" (© the landlord) until it went sour. The handpump league didn't reign long....
