Page 1 of A bit Info needed from you boys north of the border

Anyone know if it is indeed true that sweetheart stout is only available in Scotland. It`s my dad`s favourite wee tipple and used to be sold in our local safeway - until a couple of numpties decided to burn it down! Now that it has re-opened, they have saw fit not to stock it.

I work in the Greenock store and we stock it!

Thank goodness someone answered this, I thought everyone `north of the border` had left.

Colin,

It``s very simple, asking Scotsmen to admit (A) that they went shopping in Safeway and (B) bought Sweetheart Stout. ? Think about it ;-))

Perhaps it could be they thought " He could always phone a Scottish Safeways store and ask, he just wants to save the cost of the call " and they say Scots are careful with their money ? ;-))

Perhaps it could be you didn`t read the question.
Cue the grammar and punctuation assassins...........

On second thoughts, I don`t care about whatever it is that has prompted you to flame a obviously lighthearted reply to your initial post, and I have removed my reply.

I think the point is that phoning a Scottish Safeways isn`t going to confirm that is is ONLY sold in Scotland is it?

No, but if it was available in the Scottish stores ( which has been confirmed ) it could be stock transferred, which is what he wanted for his father, otherwise why waffle on about Safeways in the first place ?

The question was directed at Scots who would hardly know if it was in stock in Manchester would they ?

Anyway the questioned was answered, so why wait a week or so to start a row ?

That`s me told!

Now if the question had been about Barrs Iron Bru instead of Stout, there would have been lots of answers !!!!
