They both used to be referred to simply as "electric soup".

James Hamilton

In one of his books on drinking (possibly Every Day Drinking), Kingsley Amis recommends mixing Special Brew half and half with Carlsberg Pilsner. I don't know if that's any kind of recommendation: as a teenager, I preferred Super.

Serious mistake not to get your beers right in Britain. Destroys credibility.

Sam

Serious mistake to describe either of the nasty drain-cleaners in question as "beer". Destroys taste-buds.

Sounds a great member of the Stupid party!

And the one who spent the run-up to the last general election publicising his own election campaign at the Thunderer's expense.
