I'm friends with people who love it, now you wouldn't refuse a nice glass of chablis at a dinner party, why would I refuse a bottle at my pals empty?
You see the position I am in?
I clearly am not socially aware then, as bugger drinking something I didn't like just because someone else does. (Although as it happens I like both Chablis and Buckfast... :kitty: )
I was once in a shop and a NED (non employed deliquent) was buying Buckie and I asked him why he drunk that gut rot, and predictably he said because its a cheap way of getting drunk.
I pointed out you could buy British Cream (formerly called sherry until EU nazis banned term) more cheaply than Buckie, with same alcohol content and tastes better. He put the Buckie back and bought two British Creams!
I guess I just accelerated his eventual liver failure, but saved his stomach?
I reckon mountain runner must drink it, down south we reckon it gives you brain damage. Could you Scottish people spare a small, uninhabited island to put him on?
Buckfast is a popular tonic drink in Scotland but not so many people drink it in England even though its actually made in Buckfast Devon. I think it needs to be promoted more in England as that would be supporting the monks cottage industry.
I've never actually tried it, what does it taste like? Does it have health giving properties?

Never heard of Buckfast. Thunderbird used to be the drink of choice in my teens, something that masqueraded as humble white wine but was horribly strong, and resulted in extreme drunkenness (which was the aim, of course).
I'm a bit more sophisticated these days, and don't tend to hand around with my mates in the park anymore.

Social etiquette and Buckfast don't really inhabit the same universe.
That's still popular up here too, in fact it was the second alcholic drink I ever had, the blue reasperry flavour when I was 14 :kitty:
I'm getting some for my party

Actually I would refuse anything if I did not fancy it and I have no friends who would be bothered what I drink.
You need to establish some social autonomy. People really will accept you for what you are not what you drink.

A documentary about this splendid nectar (although I've never actually tasted it) and its effects on lowlife up in Scotland.

It really is the scum of the Earth who drink it up here.

Are you still on the desktop site though? I don't have any showing on mine at all and links don't work when I paste them in either.
I used to love mad dog.
Probably am.

Maybe Tescos will stock it instead of Ribena.
Chavs drink it. Not something I would enjoy.
