  12. We used to drink Black and Tan much to the disapproval of the local Irish lads, but we was young and all that stuff was ancient history.

  13. In fairness the Guinness being part of a drink called the black and tans is spot on it was a company owned by an British family absolutely loyal to the British crown and was instrumental in the irish rebellion failing in 1916 !! The Guinness distillary gave the British soldiers the metal tankers to hide in and get closer to the GPO arcade to attack the rebellion having had a low number of men in Dublin as most had gone to fight in WW1 ! I love quoting that to the so called republicans who love there irish Guinness !! Nothing irish about the drink bar its first location of production:p
