Define "nigh".

Tomorrow? Next week? Next year? Ten years? Twenty years? Fifty years?

light & bitter my god man, what on gods earth is light & bitter, up north we drink man beer Newcastle brown ale (the original WIFE BEATER) non of your southern shandy drinking light ale.

“Light and bitter” as you well know, is a popular ‘working class’ pint mixed from a half pint of bitter and a bottle of light ale. I use to drink it myself many years ago.

It is also a metaphor I am leveraging for whatever emoluments, goods or services you claim you were able to obtain for a tuppenny farthing and sixpence back ye olde days of yore and Harold Wilson.

In some cases, something peculiar happens when you do this kind of thing with certain combinations. We used to drink a pint we called a "Brain Damage" which was a half of Abbot Ale and a bottle of St. Edmunds. It was inexplicably potent. Whereas, after playing cricket or rugby, one might imbibe ten pints of beer and stagger off into the night, none of us could go much beyond four Brain Damages without becoming unable to even stagger.

Indeed; a similar phenomena was found with a “snake bite” which was bizarrely frothy and cloudy mix of cider and lager. This could be transformed into a “purple nasty” by the addition of a pernod and blackcurrent. A purple nasty was a sort of “game over” drink for the uninitiated.
