No never, it's on my list of things to try though along with square sausage and scotch eggs (I just assumed they're Scottish)

Buckfast (iv not had it since 1987) is £7.50 or so for a 75oml bottle is 15%

I can get a 14% bottle of wine in the scummy Coop for £4.99

or you can get 4 cans of K cider and get 1760ml of 8% for a fiver

so neds need to be buying K cider and not Bucky

my advice is buy aldi 5% cider (2.99 for 4) and combine with £3.90 12% wine

a bottle of that wine an 2 cans will give sufficient buzz for around £5

:joker::joker: I've heard the rumours, and its makes me more keen! A trip to Scotland would probably cost me over £100, so this scammer on Amazon nips it. There was someone else selling 6 for £44, but thats a guaranteed life sentence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine

Not you wrong as usual

The beverage has entered the popular lexicon with nicknames such as "Wreck the Hoose Juice",[14][15][16] "Commotion Lotion",[14][15] "Cumbernauld Rocket Fuel",[15] "Mrs. Brown",[14] "Buckie Baracas",[17] "Coatbridge Table Wine",[17] and a bottle of "what the hell are you looking at?"[17] It has also earned the unofficial slogan, "Buckfast: gets you ****ed fast".[16] The drink's prominence within the "Buckfast/Buckie Triangle" – an area east of Glasgow between Airdrie, Coatbridge and Cumbernauld – has raised concern.[16][17] In addition, the glass bottle has been blamed for contributing to litter and providing drunkards with a weapon.[15][17]

Buckfast is utterly foul guys. Come on.


However Irn Bru is delicious and everyone knows it. When I worked in England we replaced the Fanta in the customer vending fridge with Irn Bru. Instant best seller, started outpacing Coke within 2 months. Mighty bru.
