I confess to being guilty of that too...

I am eagerly awaiting the full results tomorrow, to see if anyone has done worse than me.

Can somebody please explain to me how you get this from "this place is huge" please?

Even though it'll probably come to me in a brief moment of mental clarity in about five minutes...thanks.

Someone totally needs to make a tube map with Ollie's answers on it. (And for anyone feeling particularly evil, find a lost American tourist to hand it to.)

I don't get the Barbican one by the way, unless it's based on the assumption that non-alcoholic lager is the only type that comes in cans or something...?

Barbican was a non-alcoholic lager brewed a few years ago, not sure if it's still available :?:

Aha. I would probably have got that, if only Kingsbury non-alcoholic lager hadn't come up in my internet search first :-)

I guess that if that is the case then Kingsbury would be acceptable as well then...... :)

Very odd, this is second dodgy post against this thread. The first one I think Neil has already deleted. Like Andi I'm also not in need of any ******. :wink:
