Effect of oil price on EFL - none whatsoever.
Effect of ale price on EFL - now that can be an issue.

beer, bitter, ale, stout lager, they all go down the same way. But real ale is best at room temperature, not cold. cold is bad

Cold is bad, but really it should be _cellar_ temperature i.e. cool. The brewers from Bass (for example) are very particular about cellar temperature to within a degree or two.

Coldest beer I ever had was in Washington DC which was served to me in bottle and was frozen solid! Probably to avoid anybody actually tasting it.

Naw, the avalability of beer will never influence the teaching market. Just look at South Korea. Teachers there are thrilled to get Heineken for christ's sake. Never heard of an ale in Korea.

And since when is Guiness classified as an "ale". Nor is ale merely "cold beer". You guys keep insulting the love of my life like that and the gloves are gonna come off ...

Keep the gloves on Merlin. I dont see who suggested Guiness was an ale. Guiness is also the love of my life along with bacon sarnies. Now that's a breakfast.
which do you prefer normal Guiness or ice cold guiness
sigh.... Im getting homesick

Sheffield born and bred. Ale was just the generic term for any beer.

Ice is for the beer you opened the night before but can't stand to see thrown out. Or maybe if someone peed in it I'd need it ice cold. Or fake beer with rice as the main ingredient also needs ice.

But any decent beer, ale or stout should go down just fine at the temperature of the cellar it was stored in - or slightly warmer. Plus, since it's a cold weather meal it'd be like eating ice cream in a blizzard if it was served cold. I don't drink it that much, though. It's one of those luxuries for indulging in only when you can get a "good one". Every once in a while an "Irish Pub" opens up somewhere but more often than not its a disappointment. Sad

Tell me about it. The 'Irish' bar here in Istanbul ONLY has 33cl cans of Guiness and they charge 20 ytl, about 8 GBP

I would appreciate people either stop logging unrelated topics to this discussion, or get back on topic. One's choice and location of drinking alcoholic beverages has nothing to do with the original discussion.

Thank you,

You're new around here, aren't you?

Trying to get people to stay on topic here is a bit like herding cats.

How about the fact that when aviation and ship fuel starts to run out tefl-ons will be even further deprived of their favourite tipple as shipping the product overseas will not be worth the cost. Having their home comforts reduced may make more potential teflers stay at home which will, in turn, reduce the number of native speakers abroad and push up wages in typical supply and demand fashion.
