Nope, unfortunately the nearby shops don't carry much but local stuff, which is passable enough - though most of the local brewers focus on regional styles. I'm partial to UK beers, particularly strong ales, but I'm in the minority.
I've got to run 15 miles into Portland to get my fix of proper English and Scottish beers. I'm not sure if they carry Bank's, but I'll keep my eye open. They do have a fair selection of UK stuff, in bottles and cans, errrr, I mean tins.
I'll let you off then. Banks's, for my money, cannot be beat. Actually, beer is probably the only context in 'English' english which the word "can" is used, so you were actually right the first time.

Mate, you're one of the best people here.
We should be thanking you.

I really appreciate your comments. You certainly know how to make a bloke's day! I realise it might look like I'm fishing for compliments, and I also realise you're all going to tell me otherwise (being a prophet I know these things), but I
can get low and I
can feel unworthy, and with a few notable exceptions (for obvious reasons) I count you all my friends.
It's like I've already said to some of you privately: apart from one very close friend in real life, the people I feel the closest to are on the other end of an internet connection, and in many case, the other side of the world.
I shall take up the offers of ear-bending but I'll try not to abuse them.
Anyway, enough from me for now. Happy birthday, AF! A
proper celebration!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
