Have you considered renaming your blog Geezerist?
So you don't like London Cocktail Week because you think cocktails are overpriced and/or prefer beer.

Fair enough, each to their own. This post however - one of your worst.
"Regular Reader" might like to check out my forthcoming articles: "13 Mindblowing Ways to Spot a DG Clickbait Pisstake." and "Oh My God, These Are The Best 17 Jokes You've Never Heard That Went WAY Over People's Heads".
80th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street today. But you have mentioned that before, close to its 70th anniversary.
@Anthony - bang on!

And beautifully in the spirit of this cocktail week promo.
Ha! Great bit of writing - cheers!
Excellent stuff.
But who gave you that martini recipe?? 50/50 mix? I dont't think so. Use the Queen Mother's preferred ratio, 100/0. Neat gin, and just leave the vermouth bottle standing on the sideboard.
Yet another great post,DG! Oooh,I do like to start the day with a chuckle! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸΉπŸΈπŸΉπŸΈ
It was the increasingly dodgy series of factoids that had me attentive - I could get the 'see what he's doing there' almost straight away. My favourite is Michael Faraday.
Clearly not aimed at regulars on the 108, although the unique feature of the 108 cocktail is that all of the alcohol has had plenty of time to evaporate before the punter gets to drink it, if the ingredients are changed the website isn't updated and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.
I've never been a particular fan of cocktails. Except, perhaps, for an Old Fashioned. But call me funny, I prefer an Old Fashioned Pint. Without a wristband.
Nor me too neither. The cocktail I was once bought by a kind cousin reminded me why we have an instinct never to put anything blue in our mouths. And did you know that all the water in the river ("Old Father Thames" as it is jocularly known to the barrowboys) comes from a small concrete drinking fountain in a field near Lechlade?
Hahaha! Excellent post!
DG's readers are definitely not London's Cocktail Week's target audience!
DG missed the bit about Tower Bridge works being finished early but the bridge will remain closed and used for 'private Christmas/New Years' parties.
I looked up dirty screwdriver and wished I hadn't. Just as well I don't like vodka & orange juice, with or without cinnamon.
Didn't anyone notice the wonderful set of Thamesian photographs that were interspersed between the words?
DG's on top form today! Perfectly satirising 2016's trend for terrible sponsored copy.
Love the URL: https://drinkup.london/cocktailweek/kerching
Sums the whole thing up.
First picture has nothing to do with Rotherhithe
@Malcolm

....apart from all the tributaries DG has steadily been documenting. Anyway, I thought most of the water in the Thames was supposed to have passed through several human beings before it reached London.

@david
..........except that the view (presumably taken from the Shard) is of the Rotherhithe peninsula, with the skyscrapers on the Isle of Dogs rising beyond it.
tenner to trussell - done.
Rotherhithe does have its own cocktail destination though, the 'Midnight Apothecary' where you can 'imbibe exquisite alcoholic prescriptions infused with ingredients grown in our garden' and 'cuddle up to watch the sun set over the river'. Although I'm not sure the sun sets over the river in Rotherhithe or you can even see the sunset for that matter...
Nicely done DG. :)
