- The local favourite (among the get-drunk-quick crowd) is the Purple
- Nasty; snakebite (for best results, strong bottled cider, not the weak
- stuff from the tap), quite a bit of blackcurrant cordial, and a double
- vodka. Its lethality is enhanced by its innocuous taste; something
- like fizzy Ribena. It's the sort of thing you buy someone on their
- birthday, if you're feeling *very* cruel. It's actually illegal to
- serve it (you can't mix pints and spirits) but the bar here does
- anyway ...
