Tin of alcohol free Karlskrone Lager from Aldi, in a blue and green design

Tin of alcohol free Karlskrone Lager from Aldi, in a blue and green design

On this last night because reasons.

It wasn't as hootingly awful as I expected for something that's about 50p per tin from Aldi.

Also quite enjoying the design, which seems to have a nod towards deep 80s horror Slalom Lager (and one-time sponsor of Keighley Rugby League).

I'll never forget the look I got when I naively asked for a scone in a chip shop in Carlisle when I moved there in 1990.

(there have been recent sightings of scones in exotic places like Hebden Bridge, where they presumably get marketed as 'Keighley street food')

'scones' - oval, battered potato and fish in a heating cabinet in a fish and chips shop

'scones' - oval, battered potato and fish in a heating cabinet in a fish and chips shop

I'm in a 'Fishery' - the Yorkshire name for a Fish And Chip shop that makes it sound like you're visiting an aquarium.

Those things are scones. Traditionally found nowhere else on earth other than Keighley and Shipley, inexplicably leapfrogging Bingley, sandwiched between those two towns.
