Cheers Phil. Going to be in Singapore later this month, so you've saved me a whole lot of anticipation followed by disappointment.

Better still, since you are a 'drinks consultant' and clearly have this knowledge at your fingertips - give us some current links from Heineken or a respected source that show you are correct. After all, surely Heineken woulsd want to trumpet this unique place in the UK market - it would be a USP. So far I have given you Heineken's own sustainability report clearly stating over 95% of their beer sold in the UK is brewed in the UK, evidence that the Advertising Standards Authority recently found them to be misleading the public over the place of brewing of Kronenbourg and a BBC article, albeit old stating the vast majority of beer is UK origin for cost and freshness reasons. You have produced nothing apart from 'I'm right, you're wrong' which from a supposed industry professional is, um, - lets say straining credibility.

When you comment on antiques, or holidays you can actually be interesting. Doing this sucky up thing that you favour on the Ugly Inside to SRS and Turkish and on here on politics threads just makes you look pathetic.

So are Heineken in their published reports according to you. Think I'll believe their own words than a random on a message board, especially one who doesnt present any contrary evidence.

Lol. Heinekens brands in the UK are Heineken, Kronenbourg, Fosters and John Smiths. You think Heineken amounts to less than 5% of that total.......... In 2003 they brought out the UK licence holder, changed the strength to 5% abv to bring it into line with other markets and brought the brewing inhouse. You are confused - easily apparently.

No its a beautiful day here too. Blue skies and sun. Cold though, around 2c. If games are called off in the south it will probably be because of frozen pitches, not snow.

Thats Carlsberg. More bull****. Northampton is nearer the mark than Copenhagen. This is an old article, but things havent changed much. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2116010.stm

'Kin ell. People have no idea about how to see through marketing do they? Guinness is brewed in 50 locations worldwide. Guiness did close the London brwery due to falling sales so mostly UK Guiness does come from Ireland. However the stuff in Dubai probably does taste totally different. In Nigeria they even use a different recipe.

Dune in 'smug but wrong again' shocker. Congratulations on falling for the marketing, you need to look through the spin a bit more. Heineken import a little bit of bottled beer and use that to create the illusion that all Heineken is from Holland. Draught Heineken sold in the UK is brewed in the UK. The bottled stuff, a minor part of sales, may come from Holland but may also come from some other random brewery - in which case the label will say 'Imported' rather than 'Brewed in Holland'. Thats why ads feature bottles rather than pints - they are very adept at misleading. With Heineken they have managed to stay within the law, with Kronenbourg, not. http://www.chinchinjobs.com/news/article/heineken-told-to-drop-kronenbourg-brewed-in-france-claim-1829 http://m.local.stv.tv/edinburgh/news/23489-edinburgh-based-heineken-misleads-consumers-with-false-claims/ Heineken: "As a business committed to the UK, we are proud that more than 95% of our beer sold in the UK is brewed in the UK". http://www.heineken.co.uk/pdf/Heineken%20UK%20Sustainability%20Report%202010.pdf

So.... you want to sell us stuff but package it up as helping out? ta

Fosters isn't beer Dune

Dutch friend of mine cries when tastes British brewed Heineken.

Bit of natural justice imo, since the original deal to buy was struck here.

If the pitch is frozen and the game called off this wekend that could push them over the edge imo.

Nah. Obviously she's no pug, but I don't get what the fuss is about.

True story. My ex had a friend who worked in a shoe shop. She was always bubbly, outgoing, enthusiastic about everything and endlessly chatty. Ex and I split up and I didnt see this girl for about two years before bumping into her in the street. "Hi. How are you? what you up to now? still at the shop?". "Nah gave that up, got a bit tedious. Im working as an escort at Gatwick now" "What you mean like meeting and greeting?" "Nah, you know, ****ging businessmen in the hotels for money. I like it. Much better paid, plus you get free dinners."

I don't think she's that attractive

Im only about 5 miles from Brighton. Whats his name? There are loads of ways to get even with people. Destroying their credit history is one of the best. Sugar in the petrol tank and iron filings in the gearbox another.

He didnt notice that - too busy thinking about David Beckham.

Apparently the Milton end is closed but they still have unsold tickets.

More politicans should watch and quote the simpsons imo.

Definitely business. Most politicans of all shades are too narrow focussed / intense / worried about doing or saying anything the media will get hold of to be any fun.

Readers comment from the News. Plymouth Graham Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 01:20 PM . uhy hackerAA..they are clients of BC..their job is to get him the HIGHESTBEST deal...they have no interest in Pompey FC. Think of it this way,.. if they were selling BC's horse, they would not care one jot if it was the RSPCA, or a french resturant, or a glue factory who was buying it. THE PROBLEM IS now I feel,- to keep the analogy going,- is that BC wants a "Race horse" price for what is generally viewed as a "Cart horse" property. Surely AA isnt selling either a race horse or a cart horse but is in fact flogging a dead horse.

I thought you were talking about Uri Geller. Now Im confused.

Ive got a meeting with David M next month. I'll ask when he's going to stick the knife in his brother, and does their mum mind.
