Re: It’s official, Brits are soft.
Bit of an odd warning, in nearly any supermarket in the UK you'll be able to buy beers in the 7-9% range, it's not like people don't drink strong beers in the UK, in most actual beer shops and offlicenses you'll get beers well over 10%.

One takeaway from the weekend for me is Scott Wilson. Every time I've seen him he has been very impressive and he came off the bench and was rock solid against Ox Nche on Saturday. He could be the new Furlong. Don’t think he’s as good as furlong. Furlong when younger was a world class scrummager, w...
