Carling lager is 'weaker than advertised'

Carling lager is 'weaker than advertised', apparently.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41059610
Intentionally brewed at 3.7% to pay less tax, sold at 4.0%.
The law allows for tolerance of + or - 0.5%, which is ridiculous considering they can probably set the controls within about 0.001%.
Not that I'd buy it obviously! But if I did I'd be pretty annoyed. Plus or minus 0.1% is a pretty big difference when you're looking for a fun night out on a budget!

You know it's on the BBC website as you've copied the address, so why bother with it on here?

Hmmm... last I saw the BBC website wasn't a chatroom. Certainly not a chatroom frequented by fellow alcoholics.

It tastes awful.
Double or half its strength, and it would still taste awful.
So I don't really care how strong it is.

Is lager still marketed as "cool, cosmopolitan and all jet-set" when compared to dour cap-doffing, warm, flat bitter?
Back in the day, a lager was a (sweet-toothed) girls' drink - something for when a single Babycham wasn't quite thirst-quenching enough.

Whenever I think of Carling lager, I think of overweight 50 something dads at a barbecue possibly wearing black shorts with black socks and a pair of sandals.

My youngest son is best mates with a lad whose Dad is fairly senior in Carlsberg.
So far this year he has been to Glastonbury and Reading festivals free with VIP camping and free food thrown in too.
No complaints coming from him...

Bungo - thats nothing
An acquaintance of my cousin is fairly friendly with the founder of Ski yoghurts - the 1980s beverage condiment and milk based desert firm. I think youll find that is far more impressive than your claim to beverage company linked fame sir

Shame they can't buy us all off.
*contact me by WHOmail for a thunderous endorsement of Carling - at a price, of course*

Years supply of cherry ski yoghurt? Yes fucking please.
Twenty four mixed fruits packs of ski yogjury? Dont mind if i do. But drop me out of the peach - you can fucking have them back
Lick the lid? Gert you cowsun. Use a little tea spoon to get the last vestiges of the creamy yoghurt out of every recess and the smooth plastic walls of the pot? Oh go on then.
Dip your nose in it? Go on sir.
Ive got connections sir in the yoghurt game. Old skool - none of your yoplait shit or that swedish belly fungus shit called bostik shpoons or whatever the cunts call it - with bifidus pro biotics.
Back in the day i was the yoghurt governer. I shit the angel delite mob. I lorded it over the swiss roll lot. Wankers.

For quite a few years in essex i was known as the birds custard and jelly guvnor.
I held so much custard i had a fucking lake of it on my land - with deckchairs round it and poor quality chip shop and ice cream vans. I was importing so much of the sweet yellow desert topping i was fucking atoll protected and had 18 - 30 holidays jumping off balconies and drowning in the custardy goo.
I had northern women with blotchy faces and too tight bras leaving their kids at home with boxes of matches to come to my resort.
I was the custard timeshare king. Lord of the jelly.
Then it all changed. Walls Vienetta came on the scene. I couldnt compete with its Austrian ecotica and crispy outer shell layers of chocolatey strudel and light flumtious ice cream.
I was fucked overnight - at my own game
Before then all the ravers had been content with my milka lollies and screwballs. Suddenly every cunt was bowling about with a viennese log under their arm. Some were wearing it as hats
Others were sniffing it to maximise the ice cream buzz.
My custard and blancmange was suddenly old hat
You could get an eighth of my rhubarb chocco cone for 17 pence whereas in 1984 it was punting for a cockle.
Id been out deserted
Striped up at my own refreshments game
I facked off well and truly gutted - but id be back mate ive said
