kopi, ffs

"MINE'S A COLD'UN!" is your safest bet. Make your voice as growly as possible and sneer at anyone else at the bar.

He said 'beer', not 'cat piss'.

Morse always asked for a pint of best bitter.

I have never heard anyone in real life ask for "best" bitter

Or a pint of "worst" bitter for that!

You walk in, wink at the barman, and then in your best cockney accent say

"Alright geeza get us a pint of the cold stuff".

Seriously though. "Pint of carling please" will do.

Drink enough and mate the taste is irrelevant. I drink carling and does the job for me, I don't even consider the taste. You have to be a real newbie to give a **** over such issues.

Not being a burgeoning alcoholic who doesn't care at all about the taste of his alcohol as long as it gets him wrecked is not the same as being a 'newbie'.

Its not about getting wrecked 24/7. I'm talking about having gone down the local for however many years twice a week maybe and just having a pint. Each lad has their preference and will bring in a round of whatever

There will be the names of the available beers written on the pumps attached to the bar - ask the bartender for the beer you require by it's name.

He also said: 'like Carling, for example'. :grin:

Edit: It wouldn't have been my first choice either, ha.

What do you expect - he can't order a beer, how's he to know what beer is?

A lot of breweries do a "best bitter". Traditionally it used to be the strongest a brewery made. Not so these days.

Have a look at the labels on the pumps next time you go in a pub that serves proper beer. :wink:

Depends on the bartender, your mood or how drunk you are.
Mine can range from simply: "Carling Please", to camped up fop style: "Good day squire. I say, may you quench me with an ewer of you finniest dark label", or simple Essex pitbull: "Carling you ****!".
