People in Burnley drink more Benedictine than anywhere else in the country. And there I thought it would have been Glasgow.

I think it was the Miners Club on Plumbe St that actually got an award a few years ago for the club/pub selling the most in the UK

[lancsdave]

Just looked it up, it was actually the biggest outlet in the world.

Hic, I don't believe it, always thought every body drank bitter in Burnley

[Kiki]

Yes i have a Lancashire Life magazine with an article in about this and think.it was a local regiment who had brought Benedictine back to Burnley with them!

[lancsdave]

Seems they also made a program about it. Can be seen again in the New Year;

Can't beat it Lippy used to drink the day after a bender when I had bad gutts, the hot water used to make al the difference, primed me ready for the nex session

It is very heartwarming, and on a bitter cold day like todayreally warms you up. Especially with hot water added! I went out last week and only had two glasses of red wine thinned down with water. Just not risking being poorly again ! Benny is very herby a nd yummy!
