Another off-topic point (but very important):-

What's the best beer (or cider, or spirit, etc)?

Mine was always Brew XI, but sometimes Ansells Bitter (depending how well the landlord kept his beer), and Banks's (when in Black Country). Then, when I moved to Leeds, I loved John Smith's or Tetleys. Now, in Cornwall, I love DoomBar.
I was always wary of London beers, when I followed Albion away. Don't know whether they've improved over the years, but I used to have to drink their beer with a 'lemon-top' because it was so flat without any head.
