OK, following a question which came up in the pub at lunchtime, your input is needed to solve an important query, So:


[Poll #215525]

Clarification: I'm asking about drinks you might order in a pub - [livejournal.com profile] pm215, you don't drink coffee in pubs, I've seen you not doing it :)

(If you want to play and you're a non-LJer, mail me.)

Not disclosing it yet - I'd hate to bias the survey :)

How the hell do you know, [livejournal.com profile] voratus? Where on earth in your neck of the woods sells such things ?

You hang out with a load of beardy real-ale drinkers who think Steve Ciarcia is God?

Less of the beardy, if you don't mind :) And I had to google to find out who Steve Ciarcia was...

becherovka

Who ?

Assumptions for my answers

Considered whether admin at Tao fell into "Yes I work in the IT industry" and decided if anything, I worked for it rather than in.

And I answered 'Real ale' without considering really good whiskey, really good wine, or champagne. I presumed it was in a 'what you would drink at the pub' context.

'what you would drink at the pub' context.

Yup, I was inspecific, but that was the sort of context I was asking about.

Call yourselves geeks, I dunno.

Becherovka is sort of Bacardi Spice, only *way* better. I can't recall if it's Czech or Slovak. Gah, want some now! I've never seen it in the UK but it must be availbale somewhere. I'm not even sure if it's a generic term like slivovica or borovica or if it's a trade name.

I drink coffee in pubs if I think the social situation is such that I can get away with it without looking too much like an idiot :-)

Otherwise, lemonade, random fruit juice, Archers-and-lemonade.

It's czech, and it's fantastic.
[livejournal.com profile] venta, I'll feed you some next time you come over to Cambridge.

Just 'cause they don't make it here, doesn't mean I can't get it. :p

When do we get to find out what the question was?

Er, I'll do some sums with the results and tell you in a little while.

It's really not that exciting, mind.
