M & S staff discount is only 20%.

Yes. And there is absolutely no reason for it being in a corked 750ml bottle other than to charge an extortionate price for it. The price is even higher at their central London stores, £5.25.

 

You obviously work for M&S or have a friend in the firm like myself! Haven't had him get me anything for a year or two - 25% was a top of my head guess.

Bollocks to it then, if it's only a poxy 20% I won't bother!

 

Actually neither of those options, my mum used to work for them, still get the discount though.

Best is when they do a £5 off £25 coupon. With 6 for 5 beers, staff discount and then the coupon I was paying £1.22 for a £2.29 beer.

 

Yeah I know that, I didn't mean Adnams made all their beers.

 

Think my instincts were right in not spending the penny less a fiver for that beer. The only Meantime beer I really have much more affection for is their 7.5% ABV IPA.
