On this day:

A bottle of the Nigerian

So Guinness sales are reportedly higher in Nigeria than in Ireland. Takes me back to the days of living above the Londis next door to Stockwell tube station (opposite The Swan, round the corner from Jack's off licence). My flatmate Dave and I would regularly partake of bottles of the Nigerian-brewed Guinness Foreign Extra, which always seemed to be available in Jack's in place of your common or garden Irish variety (one of many curiosities of the offy - others included a vodka mouth spray called Zulu 42). The Foreign Extra is made with sorghum instead of barley, consequently tasting much better than the regular version, at least to this jaded palate.
