Burton legend used to have it that Ped was no good any more than 11 miles from the middle of Burton. With my advanced years Smiths, Fosters etc have me p*ssing like a seaside donkey. Or maybe its buying two at a time that does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be lol I reckon Burton legend is about right..it don't travel well, not even 11 miles up the 38! Very few landlord's seem to know how to keep it... I remember the Crown at Spondon used to keep a good pint of Pedi when I worked at Celenese, but that was years ago. Best pint I ever had was on a visit to Bass's Brewery, funnily enough...

CWC1983 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Depends on where you live and travelling time to away games. Many a time the bus would leave at 8 to get to a pub at opening time at 11. The bus involved vodka / thunderbird / rum / whisky etc. Looking back, there used to be pubs open early for the night shift workers and we used to grab a few pints prior to the bus leaving at 8....... things you do when you are young.......

My Dad always said a good pint of Bass should never have a head on it just what he called a scum floating on the top, when he said scum I don't think he was talking about a forest fan I think he meant a very thin head you could see the beer through.

Do you go in the White Horse much, out of interest? I used to go in there a fair bit but it seemed to get repeatedly taken over on a weekend by strange ginger haired folk in kilt's and 'Clan Derby' T-shirts, blowing bagpipes.. It's since become a Mod pub I believe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I vaguely recall drinking one morning, followed by one afternoon, followed by one evening, before boarding a coach outside Pride Park in the early hours of the next morning to carry on as I'd done the day before and it all got a bit messy when more booze was shared around the coach including a bottle of peppered vodka. Anyway it all got supped on route to Birmingham Airport where we all carried on drinking before kicking a ball about in the departure lounge before flying on to Finland to enjoy the Finland/Estonia pre season friendlies which included carrying on the drinking for the following week, I suppose you have to do something in-between the football matches, and ermmmm I think all the art galleries and museums were shut!
