Boddingtons

My everlasting crusade to save money made me travel from Oxford to Paris by bus. It was one of the more idiotic ideas of mine. At 3 am, after boarding a ferry at Dover and after talking to immigrants for 2 hours while waiting for the ferry (which was good fun, actually), I had a half-pint of Boddies. This is a famous cheapo British bitter that I used to drink with Alan in Locomotive, a den full of fighty locals on Mill Road in Cambridge. It immediately brought back memories and is a beer perfect for such occasions, bitter, creamy, dense with no subtleties whatsoever. I never realised quite how much I like it!
