For all of you who've seen the notes on scrumpy in the London Sourcebook,
and Del's comments about two or three pints of the stuff...

To answer Martin's question on scrumpy...

>Is it available bottled in GB?
Not that I am aware. I'll keep my eyes open and let you know if I see any.

>Is scrumpy a subset of cider?
Yes, although scumpy contains lots more alcohol than usual cider (see below).

>Would someone call a pint of scrumpy 'cider'?
No. A pint of scrumpy would be called "lethal" or "a very bad idea".
Most
people I know drink scumpy in half pints, that way you spill less when you
pass out.

Ian.
