BLITZED
Keith, regrettably the world "blitz" locally brings back memories of the terrible bombing of Southampton, the main attack being 30 November to 2 December 1940, when the town as it then was was razed to the fround in places.
I see that we have a big range of Amber Nectar that ostensibly hales from Aussie, for sale here in the UK. However it does appear on closer inspection that these are local brews.
To bring the conversation round to the forum again, my father grew fond of Stella Artois when in the RAMC in Egypt and Palestine in 1946-48. This is of course a Belgian beer. However he and his mates grew suspicious of this beverage that the Brit tommies were imbibing, and so they asked the RAMC chemists to analyse it. It turned out to be chemical beer... some sort of base compound to which alcohol had been added. Needless to say everyone stopped drinking it!
