Cheers Lads, I'll ring in advance so as I'll probably be buying around 30 cases of beer.

I worked in said Sainsbury's for 5 years.

We hated your type! You'll probably ring up and expect special treatment because your buying so much yet you don't realise we can't stock the shelves fast enough so we couldn't really care less who buys it and how much they buy!

Yea, someone has the curtesy to inform a place that they are looking to buy a fairly large order and are hoping that the shop can facilitate them rather than coming in and just expecting the beer to be there for them. When you finally return to school to finish your eductation you probably shouldn't look for a career in Customer Relations Management.

Again thanks for the advice lads.

Just phoning the BWS manager now to let him know some Mexican will be coming up looking for 30 cases of beer and to make sure and be conveniently out of stock.

Tescos were doing cases of Magners there a week or so ago for £7, some job, I got four just to tide me over...

Check to see what offers are on first...


Magners light, no doubt?

Shouldn't you have been informing us of this when the offer was still?! See all the cider companies are really hard selling pear cider. Anyone tried it, or is it for the ladies?

Kopparberg has been around for ages - the pear is rocket fuel and very easy drunk.

Avoid Newry to many tail backs in car parks.
I went about ten miles further on to the Sprucefield shopping place near Lisburn and there is a Sainsburys there too with no traffic at all hardly..
The drink is very cheap..
My woman is at home at the minute, has been in Newry the last two days (spending my money no doubt!), she says there's not one about it, not one about Sainsbury's either.  So Newry may be alright for you Dinny. 


Oh and LL, 10 mile?  :D :D
Which one of you bitches wants to dance?

Definitely not worth the hassle (or petrol) driving up to Sprucefield.

Is there anywhere online for checking the prices of the beer in theses places.

What hassle is there driving on a motorway ?
Certainly would rather it than being stuck in queues for a few hours.
We stopped in that Banbridge place on the way back it's not a bad place either..

Its a dual carriageway, not a motorway.

For anyone buying beer in Newry there are a number of smaller Off Licenses on the outskirts of Newry that may not be just as cheap as the big supermarkets, but you will still get great deals compared to southern prices and you wont have the hassle of going in or near the Quays or Buttercrane. JRs Off License is on the old road just north of the border, about 2 miles from the Carrickdale Hotel. There is another Off License in Cloughouge and then the Drink Link, which is about 200 yards past Cloughouge roundabout, heading down into Newry.

Typical southern motorist, who wouldnt know a motorway from a "b road", then again Sprucefield is only 10 miles from Newry  :D
