Here I am sat sitting and trying to fathom out the answers to these imponderables

1. After lugging a few bottles of the falling down water, 'Er Indoors asked me why don't they make beer in plastic bottles then it would'nt be so heavy to carry - I'm buggered if I know why they don't - someone out there must know

And just one for the ex-servicemen here - If a soldier is hiding - maybe a sniper or something, how do they stop themselves from sneezing ?

They do sell beer in plastic bottles in the uk doesnt taste the same and usually cheaper own brands i have seen this in tescos in the uk I do not know about Tescos here.
To stop sneezing hold your nose very tightly and take a deep breath this does work.
Question what were you thinking about snipers for??

Don't know about the beer Niggle - can't say I've seen any in plastic in the UK. But certainly wine here is becoming more widely available in plastic or 1 litre tetrapaks. Mainly from Tesco and Sainsburys. Its OK for wine but wouldn't fancy beer from plastic somehow.
Theres got to be an answer though for us of a certain age who suffer from heavy shopping syndrome. Damned if I'm giving in to a shopping trolley just yet!

Hmm - seem to be drawing a blank on the beer bottles. I think it may well be my task for the day !
