Something on the radio encouraged me to try this the other day, so I bought 4 cans of Tetlys and a couple of 2L bottles of lemonade. It's probably about 30 years since I last had a shandy (when it was a legitimate "soft" drink for kids) and I have been most impressed. Cold beer really isn't thirst quenching and soft drinks are too sweet for me, but this is great.
I've been erecting all day in the back garden (a fence) and 2 pints of shandy with lunch went down a treat, cooled me down, but not a lot to piss out as I was sweating like a pig, erections have that effct on me it seems.
Gentlemen, I commend Shandy to you as a much maligned thirst quenching beverage for the warmer months - and warmth inducing activities.

te to be honest.
shandy, brilliant drink, nothing poove-ish about it at all.
Unless you're a southerner and then it's just another indicator of your overall poove-ishness.
not that there is anything remotely wrong with poove-ism ..being a southerner on the other hand...

A few weeks ago somewhere in France, I had a 'Monaco', lager shandy with grenadine, it was pink. How gay is that?
not quite as bad as a demi peche but getting there. Sometimes the locals in the bar i worked in would even drink a demi peche panaché. Half a shandy with peach cordial in it..... hmm
Often have a lager shandy if I'm in the pub on a warm afternoon, maybe grabbing some grub. I find it very refreshing. You can have two pints of shandy for the same alcohol as a pint (obviously) so it's great if you want a drink but are maybe driving later on that night or whatever, where 2 pints would be pushing it.
You can keep your Tetley's pish though
Bitter sucks the big fat one!

Well, chances are, I'm further north than you, so that'd make you a southern poof 
I'd rather drink my own piss than drink Tetleys. Now, a nice pint of heavy (80/- ale) shandy would hit the spot, but it's next to impossible to mix flat ale with fizzy lemonade without making a right old mess and losing half of itSkyrat said:
