I thought Guiness originated somewhere in North Wales, discovered by a
salesman travelling from London to Ireland.
I have loads of Irish friends in this country and Germany who only drink
the stuff in Ireland - won't touch the english brewed rubbish.
Apparently, the Guiness brewed on the continent is better.
Murphy's is imported from the emerald isle, so it's OK to drink that.
In Newcastle (emphasis on the A), I thought they called NBA 'dog' e.g.
Man walks into bar, and asks for a bottle of dog, making sure it is
served with a half pint glass.
(Shouldn't this thread disappear somewhere else now?)
