    Fucked up how the British originally swapped in tea for their beer common at every meal. I would have been pissed

          Me and my mate in uni wanted to try the navvy diet one day.

          8000 calories

          Breakfast: 6 slices of bacon, 2 pints of beer, can of condensed milk, tea, loaf of bread.

          Early elevenses: 1 pint of beer.

          Late elevenses: 1 pint of beer, bread and butter.

          Lunch: steak, loaf of bread, 2 pints of beer, tea.

          Late lunch: 1 pint of beer.

          Snack: bread and butter, 1 pint of beer.

          Dinner: steak, boiled potatoes, loaf of bread, 2 pints of beer, tea.

          But we was going to stop short of the 20 ton of material those guys moved a day. That’s proper grafting what those boys did.

          Anyway the fucker (my mate) got a girlfriend and I never seen him again so we didn’t do it.
