Fucked up how the British originally swapped in tea for their beer common at every meal. I would have been pissed
What’s this now?
What’s wrong with having a beer with your tea?
I’m British, I still have a beer everytime I go out to eat.
Ye but it’s for recreation now not just a standard water style beverage lel

Me and my mate in uni wanted to try the navvy diet one day.

8000 calories

Breakfast: 6 slices of bacon, 2 pints of beer, can of condensed milk, tea, loaf of bread. Early elevenses: 1 pint of beer. Late elevenses: 1 pint of beer, bread and butter. Lunch: steak, loaf of bread, 2 pints of beer, tea. Late lunch: 1 pint of beer. Snack: bread and butter, 1 pint of beer. Dinner: steak, boiled potatoes, loaf of bread, 2 pints of beer, tea.

But we was going to stop short of the 20 ton of material those guys moved a day. That’s proper grafting what those boys did.

Anyway thr fucker (my mate) got a girlfriend and I never seen him again so we didn’t do it.
