GOMs in Bristol are up in arms over the desecration of one the city's favourite drinks. The Dry Blackthorn recipe has been watered down to 4.7% (from 5%) and made more "mellow" (which is to say "sweeter") by Gaymers (the gang of shysters who now own the brand) having taken it over from (noble) Taunton Cider some years back. In pub after pub you hear the cry go up "Aaargh!!! Tastes like bloody Strongbow!". There are few insults more potent in Bristol. To describe someone as "A mass-murdering international terrorist who has a fake tan" is somewhat less condemnatory than saying "He drinks Strongbow". Whatever is the world coming to?
P.S Look how upset I am. I have finished a sentence with a preposition. I must be in shock.
