Frosty Jack

[bluenose]

I buy three or four bottles of Frosty Jack per week. That costs me £3.20. If as proposed I now have to pay 40p per unit of alcohol that will be £8.80. Where does the difference go. Gordon Brown?

Surely it is not Mr Brown you want to be asking. Isn't it a Scottish Government initiative.

One cannot have too many Frosty Jacks. It is self-regulating I go to sleep darling.

[Kodiak]

What is a Frosty Jack? I have never heard of this drink.

I think when I was up your way there was White Lightning. Its the same stuff, it's about the same price as diesel and tastes the same. But boy does it create some fun xx

where can i get some ? :lol:

[gillian17]

Try any petrol station.
Oh sorry just get normal cider and a Bunsen burner and distil it. xx

[gillian17]

In this age of litigation, I think it only prudent to add the caveat. Distilling cider is one thing, please do not try it with diesel whilst smoking.

Wow thanks for the warning, if it is anything like White Lightning I will not bother. White Lightning is Terrible and I would not touch it with a Barge Pole.

You can not beat a Dram of "MacAllan 25 Year Old" now that is what you call a smooth sensation. :Razz
