This is not important...

...but worth mentioning. I noticed sadly that our favourite Greek beer (Mythos, which very handily allows one to say my Thos and your Thos) has gone up from 86c to 1.06E over the summer. This is still not much for half a litre of ideal companion to our favourite Greek fast food on a hot evening, the chicken giros with everything, but I was therefore chuffed when at the same time as noticing the raging inflation I backed into a stack of 'new product' Hellas Pils, for a mere 59c.

It turns out that this was a bad deal at half the price. The second bottle that we opened, which had a bit of fizz, might have been the collected dregs of other peoples' Mythos. The first bottle (see picture) broke as I opened it. Note the neck and cap. I poured it into glasses through a tea strainer to collect the stray shards of glass, but I shouldn't have bothered as it went straight down the drain once it was tasted.


Something is worth paying for if it is to be richly enjoyed a la 1 Timothy 6.

Hellas Pils from Hell: Flat and watery and with added glass.
