I suggest you go back to bed and try getting out of the other side tomorrow.

Absolute rubbish, Ken. You go back to bed.
The proportion of Real Ale drunk to lager fizz is far higher in the south than in the north and a typical pub down here will now normally have three real ales on tap - one southern, one northern and one possibly Cornish or Midlands. I have a choice of drinking Jenning's Cumberland Ale, Taylor's Landlord, Tetley's to name just a few.
As for ASDA, if you and others around Accy are happy to put your money into the pockets of the Walton family of Bentonville, Arkansas, then feel free but if you wish to live up to your socialist credentials then I suggest you do a little google on this company and in particular, it's exploitation of it's workforce. It has more employee lawsuits against it than any other company in corporate USA.
Personally, when I do shop in supermarkets, I use British ones such as Tesco or Sainsbury, or even better, the employee owned Waitrose (available on line in Accy) or the Co-Op.
